Club Campestre Wastewater Treatment Plant, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico

Club Campestre is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Zona Río district of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Serving a population of approximately 13,722, the plant is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for this border city. Tijuana's rapid urbanization places significant demands on its water and wastewater systems. As a Mexican wastewater facility, Club Campestre operates under the framework of the Ley de Aguas Nacionales and is subject to NOM-001-SEMARNAT-1996, which sets maximum permissible limits for pollutants in treated wastewater. For a plant serving a medium-sized agglomeration, secondary treatment is typically required to meet these standards. The plant's discharge is likely regulated by CONAGUA (Comisión Nacional del Agua). The plant's treated effluent ultimately drains into the Tijuana River watershed, which flows into the Pacific Ocean near the U.S.-Mexico border. This coastal discharge area is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse marine life and serving as a habitat for migratory species. Proper treatment is critical to protect water quality in the Tijuana River Estuary and adjacent coastal waters.

The plant discharges into the Tijuana River basin, which flows into the Pacific Ocean at the Tijuana River Estuary. This coastal wetland is an important ecological zone that supports migratory birds, fish, and other aquatic species. The estuary's health depends on maintaining low nutrient and contaminant levels in treated wastewater to prevent eutrophication and habitat degradation.
