Overview
Vill Khajod Ta Choryasi Dist Surat is an operational wastewater treatment plant serving Majura Taluka, Gujarat, India. It serves a population of 167,030 and has a designed capacity of 1.00 million liters per day.
Vill Khajod Ta Choryasi Dist Surat is a wastewater treatment plant located in Majura Taluka, Surat, Gujarat, India. The plant serves a population of 167,030, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Indian urban wastewater management standards. It is situated within 50 kilometers of the coast, indicating potential environmental sensitivity. The plant is operational with a designed capacity of 1.00 million liters per day. As a large-scale facility in India, it is expected to comply with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) norms, which mandate secondary treatment for such agglomerations. Typical Indian plants of this scale employ activated sludge or similar biological treatment. The treated effluent likely discharges into local water bodies that drain into the Gulf of Khambhat, an ecologically important marine ecosystem. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting the region's industrial and urban development.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Surat region of Gujarat, within the Tapi River basin, which drains into the Gulf of Khambhat. The Gulf of Khambhat is a shallow, tidal estuary that supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for birds. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 50 km) means its discharge can affect coastal water quality and marine ecosystems. Proper treatment is essential to prevent nutrient loading and contamination of this sensitive environment.
