Overview
Club Campestre wastewater treatment plant serves Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico, with a population of 27,382. It operates under Mexico's national water regulations for municipal wastewater.
Club Campestre is a wastewater treatment plant located in Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico. It serves a population of approximately 27,382 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category for Mexican wastewater infrastructure. The plant operates under Mexico's federal water law (Ley de Aguas Nacionales) and is subject to NOM-001-SEMARNAT-1996 standards, which set discharge limits for municipal wastewater. For plants serving populations between 20,000 and 50,000, secondary treatment is typically required to meet these standards. The treated effluent from Club Campestre ultimately drains into the Lerma-Santiago-Pacifico basin, one of Mexico's major hydrological regions. This basin supports diverse aquatic life and is important for agricultural and urban water supply downstream. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in the region's rivers and reservoirs.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Lerma-Santiago-Pacifico hydrological basin, which drains through the Lerma River into Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest freshwater lake, and eventually to the Pacific Ocean. This watershed supports critical aquatic habitats and provides water for millions of people. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream ecosystems.
