Overview
S No 444551 56 62 is an operational wastewater treatment plant in Majura Taluka, Gujarat, India, serving a population of 668,120. It is located within 50 km of the coast and has a designed capacity of 1.00 (units unspecified).
S No 444551 56 62 is a wastewater treatment plant located in Majura Taluka, Surat district, Gujarat, India. The plant serves a population of 668,120, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Indian urban wastewater management standards. It is situated near NH53 and operates within the industrial and urban context of the Surat region. As a large-scale facility, the plant is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines, which mandate treatment before discharge into inland surface waters. The designed capacity is reported as 1. Typical capacities for plants serving this population range in the millions of liters per day. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 50 km) suggests its treated effluent likely drains into the Gulf of Khambhat via local rivers or estuaries. This coastal discharge zone supports diverse marine and estuarine ecosystems, including mangroves and fisheries. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality in the Surat region.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Surat district of Gujarat, within the Tapi River basin, which drains into the Gulf of Khambhat (Arabian Sea).
