San Bartolo is a wastewater treatment plant located in Acolman, within the Estado de México region of Mexico. The facility serves a population of around 11,865 residents, contributing to the municipal wastewater management infrastructure of the area. As a plant serving a medium-sized agglomeration, it operates under Mexico's national water regulations, which include the Ley de Aguas Nacionales and standards set by CONAGUA (Comisión Nacional del Agua). These regulations require appropriate treatment to protect water resources and public health, with secondary treatment being typical for communities of this scale. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Gulf of Mexico via the Pánuco River system. This makes proper treatment essential for safeguarding downstream aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality in the region's rivers and coastal waters.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Pánuco River basin. This river system flows northeastward into the Gulf of Mexico, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and communities. The region's semi-arid climate and seasonal rainfall patterns make effective wastewater treatment crucial for maintaining stream flows and preventing pollution in downstream water bodies.
