Cooperativa Torreon Jardin is a wastewater treatment plant located in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico. It serves a population of approximately 11,865 residents in the urban area of Torreón, a major city in the northern region of Mexico. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal zones, and contributes to the local sanitation infrastructure. As a municipal facility, Cooperativa Torreon Jardin is subject to Mexican federal water quality standards (NOM-001-SEMARNAT) which set discharge limits for pollutants. For plants serving communities of this size, secondary treatment is typically required to reduce organic matter and suspended solids before discharge. The plant's design capacity and treatment process are aligned with these regulatory expectations. The treated wastewater from Cooperativa Torreon Jardin is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Nazas River basin. The Nazas River flows through the arid region of northern Mexico and is a critical water source for agriculture and ecosystems. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and supports the ecological health of the river and its associated habitats.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Nazas River basin, which flows through the semi-arid landscape of Coahuila and Durango before reaching the Laguna District. The river supports irrigated agriculture and provides habitat for native fish and bird species. Downstream, the water contributes to the regional aquifer recharge, making treatment essential for maintaining water quality in this water-scarce region.
