Overview
Keolari wastewater treatment plant in Madhya Pradesh, India, serves a population of 5,011 with primary treatment. The plant is currently non-operational.
Keolari wastewater treatment plant is located in Dokarranji, Keolari, in the Seoni district of Madhya Pradesh, India. The facility was designed to serve a population of 5,011 with a capacity of 750 cubic meters per day, but it is currently non-operational. As a primary treatment plant, it would have provided basic physical treatment such as sedimentation to remove settleable solids. The plant's discharge would have entered local water bodies in the Narmada River basin, which drains into the Gulf of Khambhat on the Arabian Sea. The region's aquatic ecosystems depend on proper wastewater management to prevent contamination of surface and groundwater resources.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in the Narmada River basin, which ultimately drains into the Gulf of Khambhat on the Arabian Sea. The local watershed supports agricultural and rural communities, and untreated or inadequately treated wastewater can impact downstream water quality and aquatic life. The region's seasonal monsoon climate influences water availability and pollution dilution capacity.
