Nerul sec2 Wastewater Treatment Plant, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra

Nerul sec2 is a wastewater treatment plant located in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It serves a population of 66,812 and is situated in the Juinagar area, near the Thane Creek. The plant is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the rapidly growing Navi Mumbai region. The plant operates under India's environmental regulations, which mandate secondary treatment for urban agglomerations of this scale. The plant is designed with a capacity of 1. 00 million liters per day, indicating it is sized to handle the wastewater from its service area. Operational status confirms active treatment. The treated effluent from Nerul sec2 likely discharges into local drains that flow into Thane Creek, a tidal estuary connected to the Arabian Sea. This coastal discharge point makes the plant's performance critical for protecting the creek's ecosystem and the broader marine environment of the Mumbai coast.

The plant's treated effluent flows into Thane Creek, a tidal estuary that supports diverse aquatic life and serves as a breeding ground for fish and crustaceans. The creek ultimately drains into the Arabian Sea, a major marine ecosystem. The plant's location within 50 km of the coast means its discharge quality directly affects coastal water quality and the health of nearby mangroves and mudflats.
