Campo El General Wastewater Treatment Plant, Sinaloa, Mexico

Campo El General is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Campo el General, Angostura, Sinaloa, Mexico. The facility serves a small population of 730 residents, providing secondary treatment to manage domestic wastewater from the community. The plant has a designed capacity of 77.76 cubic meters per day and currently treats an average of 69.12 cubic meters daily, indicating efficient operation. As a secondary treatment facility, it meets the standard requirements for organic matter and suspended solids removal under Mexican environmental regulations (NOM-001-SEMARNAT). The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies within the Sinaloa watershed, which ultimately drains into the Pacific Ocean via the Gulf of California. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the Sinaloa river system, which flows into the Gulf of California, a biologically rich marine environment. This region supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and crustaceans important for local fisheries. The secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollution, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream coastal waters.
