A completely mixed pond of volume, V, has an influent steady-state flow, Q, entering with a
BOD, concentration of L, and a dissolved oxygen (D.O.) concentration of C, (see the

coefficient of k, as indicated:
Q = 107 L/day

a) What would be the allowable maximum influent BOD, concentration (L) in order to
maintain the steady-state dissolved oxygen concentration in the pond (C) above 2 mg/L D.O.?
b) If the initial BOD, concentration in the pond (at time 0) is 5 mg/L what will the BOD,
concentration be three days after the waste input is begun (with L equal to the amount you
arrive at in part (a))?
