Overview
MDA STP Pallavpurm I is an operational wastewater treatment plant in Sardhana, Uttar Pradesh, India, serving a population of approximately 46,768. The plant supports the local community by treating domestic wastewater.
MDA STP Pallavpurm I is a wastewater treatment facility located in Modipuram, Sardhana, in the Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The plant serves a population of about 46,768, making it a medium-sized agglomeration under Indian urban wastewater management standards. As an operational plant, it treats domestic wastewater from the surrounding area. In India, sewage treatment plants of this scale are typically required to meet effluent standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Plants of this size often employ secondary treatment technologies such as activated sludge or sequencing batch reactors. The treated effluent from the plant is likely discharged into a local watercourse, contributing to the protection of downstream water bodies. The plant plays a key role in reducing pollution loads in the region, which ultimately drains into the Ganges River basin, a critical water resource for northern India.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Ganges River basin, one of the most densely populated and ecologically significant river systems in the world. Treated wastewater from the plant likely enters local drains or streams that flow into the Ganges, which supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions of people. The region's agricultural and urban runoff further stresses water quality, making effective treatment essential for downstream ecosystems.
