New Vasna STP Narol Sarkhje High Way - Non-Operational Wastewater Treatment Plant in Vatva Taluka, Gujarat

New Vasna STP Narol Sarkhje High Way is a wastewater treatment plant located in Vatva Taluka, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The plant was designed to serve a population of 507,771, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Indian urban wastewater management standards. The plant is currently non-operational. Under India's environmental regulations, large treatment plants typically employ secondary or tertiary treatment processes to meet discharge standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast. Treated wastewater from the area would likely discharge into the Sabarmati River, which flows through Ahmedabad and eventually into the Gulf of Khambhat in the Arabian Sea. The Sabarmati River supports local agriculture and aquatic ecosystems, making proper wastewater treatment critical for water quality and public health.

The plant is located in the Sabarmati River basin, which drains into the Gulf of Khambhat in the Arabian Sea. The Sabarmati River is a vital water source for irrigation and domestic use in Gujarat. Downstream ecosystems include estuarine habitats that support diverse aquatic life and migratory birds. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent nutrient loading and contamination that could harm these sensitive environments.
