3. A bankrupt chemical firm has been taken over by new management. On the property they found a 20000 m' brine pond containing 25000 mg/L of salt. The new owners propose to flush the pond into their discharge pipe leading to the Atlantic Ocean, which has a salt concentration above 30000 mg/L. What flow rate of freshwater (m'/s) must they use to reduce the salt concentration in the pond to 500 mg/L within one year?

A clean river flows at a rate of 10 cfs. A discharge pipe containing 100 mg/L of nitrate empties into the river at a flow rate of 10 L/s. Assume nitrate naturally degrades at a rate of 0.1/min (first order kinetics). What is the nitrate concentration (mg/L) just downstream of the discharge point?
A livestock and crop farmer uses some acidic wastewater to irrigate his soil before growing crops as he believes it kills all the insects and deters pests. Some of the runoff fills a drinking basin for his livestock. Advise him on the risks of using the wastewater in his operation and find a sustainable farming practice to reduce pests on his site without the use of pesticide.
The X-Y Power Co. built a power dam. The company agreed to limit the level of the impounded water to elevation + 520 feet. During an unusual spring thaw and rain, the spillway jammed with ice, and the water rose to elevation + 529 feet, flooding several houses. The owners of these houses sued the company for damages caused by this flooding. What do you think of their rights in this situation? And explain in contracting point of view.
