Sector 123 is a wastewater treatment plant located in Noida, Dadri, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. It serves a population of approximately 233,842, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Indian urban wastewater management standards. The plant is operational and plays a key role in treating sewage from this rapidly growing satellite city near Delhi. As a large-scale municipal plant in India, Sector 123 is expected to comply with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) norms, which mandate secondary treatment for all urban centers and tertiary treatment for those discharging into sensitive water bodies. Facilities of this scale typically incorporate activated sludge or similar biological treatment systems to meet effluent standards. The treated wastewater from Sector 123 likely discharges into the Yamuna River basin, which flows through the National Capital Region and eventually joins the Ganges. The Yamuna is heavily impacted by urban and industrial pollution, making effective treatment critical for downstream water quality and ecosystem health. The plant's operations contribute to reducing the pollution load on this important river system.
Environmental context
