STP Uchana Wastewater Treatment Plant, Kharkaruba, Haryana, India

STP Uchana is an operational wastewater treatment plant located in Kharkaruba, near Uchana in the Jind district of Haryana, India. The plant serves a population of about 24,966, placing it in the medium-agglomeration category under Indian urban wastewater management frameworks. As a plant in India, STP Uchana operates under the national regulatory framework, which includes the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). It is expected to comply with these standards. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Yamuna River basin, a major tributary of the Ganges. This downstream connection highlights the plant's role in protecting water quality in a densely populated and agriculturally active region. Proper treatment helps reduce pollution loads and supports the ecological health of the Yamuna and Ganges river systems.

STP Uchana serves the Kharkaruba area in the Jind district of Haryana, a region within the Yamuna River basin. Treated effluent from the plant likely flows into local streams that feed the Yamuna River, which ultimately joins the Ganges River and drains into the Bay of Bengal. The surrounding area is primarily agricultural, and the plant helps mitigate nutrient and pathogen pollution that could otherwise impact downstream water quality and aquatic life.
