Overview
Blue Water Company operates a wastewater treatment plant in India, serving municipal and industrial needs. The facility is located inland and contributes to local water management.
Blue Water Company operates a wastewater treatment plant located in India, serving the surrounding community and industrial sectors. The facility is part of India's growing wastewater infrastructure, addressing both municipal and industrial effluent treatment needs. As an operational treatment plant, it falls under India's regulatory framework for water pollution control, which includes the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974 and oversight by state pollution control boards. Plants of this nature are typically required to meet effluent discharge standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies, contributing to the protection of downstream ecosystems. Its location inland means it plays a role in maintaining the health of rivers and groundwater in the region, supporting agricultural and domestic water uses.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Mula-Mutha river basin, which drains into the Bhima River, a tributary of the Krishna River, ultimately flowing into the Bay of Bengal. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for irrigation and drinking water. Proper treatment helps prevent nutrient pollution and maintains water quality for downstream communities.
