Moje Dindoli Wastewater Treatment Plant, Udhna Taluka, Gujarat

Moje Dindoli is a wastewater treatment plant located in Dindoli, Udhna Taluka, Surat, Gujarat, India. It serves a population of around 440,959 and has a designed capacity of 1.00 million cubic meters per day. The plant is operational and plays a key role in managing municipal wastewater in the region. As a large agglomeration serving over 400,000 people, the plant is expected to meet India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) standards for wastewater treatment. Indian regulations require secondary treatment for such facilities, with potential for tertiary treatment to meet specific discharge norms. It operates under the national framework for water pollution control. The treated wastewater from Moje Dindoli likely discharges into local water bodies that drain into the Gulf of Khambhat, an arm of the Arabian Sea. The plant's location within 50 km of the coast underscores its importance in protecting coastal ecosystems from untreated sewage. Proper treatment helps maintain water quality in the downstream rivers and the marine environment.

The plant is situated in the Surat region of Gujarat, within the Tapi River basin. Treated effluent likely flows into local streams that join the Tapi River, which empties into the Gulf of Khambhat in the Arabian Sea. The coastal zone supports diverse marine life and is an important area for fisheries. Effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent nutrient loading and contamination that could harm aquatic ecosystems and coastal water quality.
