A city discharges 100 cumecs of sewage into a river, which is fully saturated with oxygen and flowing at the rate of 1500 cumecs during its lean days with a velocity of 0.1 m/sec. The 5-days BOD of sewage at the given temperature is 280 mg/l. Find when and where the critical D.O. deficit will occur in the downstream portion of the river, and what is its amount. Assume coefficient of purification of the stream (f) as 4.0, and coefficient of deoxygenation (K) as 0.1.

Question
A city discharges 100 cumecs of sewage into a river, which is fully saturated
with oxygen and flowing at the rate of 1500 cumecs during its lean days with a velocity of 0.1 m/sec.
The 5-days BOD of sewage at the given temperature is 280 mg/l. Find when and where the critical D.O.
deficit will occur in the downstream portion of the river, and what is its amount. Assume coefficient of
purification of the stream (f) as 4.0, and coefficient of deoxygenation (KD) as 0.1.
