Elechpur Wastewater Treatment Plant, Pimpalgaon Mishri, Maharashtra

Elechpur wastewater treatment plant is located in Pimpalgaon Mishri, a town in the Nanded district of Maharashtra, India. The plant serves a population of approximately 200,436, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Indian wastewater management standards. It is situated inland, away from the coast, and plays a key role in managing municipal wastewater for the region. As a large-scale facility, Elechpur is expected to provide at least secondary treatment in compliance with India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) norms under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Plants of this scale typically incorporate biological treatment stages to reduce organic load and suspended solids before discharge. The treated effluent from Elechpur likely drains into local rivers or streams that are part of the Godavari River basin, one of India's major river systems. The Godavari flows eastward into the Bay of Bengal, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture and drinking. Proper treatment at Elechpur helps protect downstream water quality and public health.

Elechpur plant discharges into the Godavari River basin, which ultimately drains into the Bay of Bengal. The Godavari is a vital water source for irrigation and drinking in Maharashtra and Telangana, and its delta supports rich biodiversity including fish and migratory birds. Effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain ecological balance in this important river system.
