San Juan de Los Jarros Wastewater Treatment Plant, Atlacomulco, Estado de México

San Juan de Los Jarros is a wastewater treatment plant located in the community of Chosto de los Jarros, within the municipality of Atlacomulco in Estado de México, Mexico. The plant serves a population of 2,209 and is part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment process for removing organic matter and suspended solids. With a designed capacity of 1,814.40 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 209.09 cubic meters per day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Lerma River basin, a major hydrological system in central Mexico. The Lerma River flows into Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest freshwater lake, which supports diverse aquatic life and is an important resource for agriculture and drinking water in the region.

The plant discharges into the Lerma River basin, which flows into Lake Chapala, the largest freshwater lake in Mexico. This watershed supports a variety of aquatic species and provides water for irrigation and human consumption downstream. The region's ecological health depends on effective wastewater treatment to prevent nutrient loading and contamination.
