A family of four resides in a suburban home equipped with a garden, a washing machine, and a dishwasher. The water consumption pattern of the household for a month is as follows: • Daily indoor water use (showers, toilets, sinks): 350 liters • Weekly laundry: 150 liters • Weekly dishwasher usage: 100 liters • Garden irrigation: 500 liters per week Calculate the total monthly water consumption for the household and assess whether their water usage is sustainable based on the region's average monthly water availability of 12,000 liters. O The household's total monthly water consumption is 10,800 liters, which is below the region's average monthly water availability of 12,000 liters. O The household's total monthly water consumption is 14,800 liters, which exceeds the region's average monthly water availability of 12,000 liters. O The household's total monthly water consumption is 12,800 liters, which exceeds the region's average monthly water availability of 12,000 liters. O The household's total monthly water consumption is 8,800 liters, which is below the region's average monthly water availability of 12,000 liters.

The quality of a surface water will be assessed for its suitability for drinking,irrigation, cooling-heating, washing-cleaning, swimming, and aquatic life (fish living) based on water quality parameters given in Table 1. Examine the surface water quality for the potential usages given above. Please providescientifical answers why the surface water is or is not suitable for such each potential use.
Drinking water supply for a college campus is contaminated with Chemical X at a concentration of 10 mg/L. Determine the non-carcinogenic daily intake (IN) over a 4-year undergraduate program. Assumptions: time on campus 5 days/week and 40 weeks/year and water ingested 2 L/day.
A home owner has a leaky bathroom faucet. If her faucet leaks 0.5 L/min and her water is heated to 45C with inlet water from a well supply at 15C then how much does the leak cost her per year? Assume her water is heated by propane at a cost of $0.65/L including tax using a boiler that is 85% efficient.

5. You are asked to design a single media filtration system for a drinking water facility. The design flow rate is 20 mgd (million gallons per day). The ideal filter velocity for your system is 8 m/hr. You design a set of filters to be used in parallel. Each filter box has a surface area of 50 m². a. How many filters do you need to construct? b. Estimate the (clean-filter) head loss in kPa? c. What mass removal (filter efficiency) would you expect for an influent stream that contains equal parts (by mass) of 1, 10 and 100 um particles? You can assume an adhesion efficiency a = 0.7. Sand Effective Size (mm) 0.8 Uniformity Coefficient 1.2 Grain Porosity Density (g/cm³) 2.6 0.4 Layer Thickness (m) 1.5
The water supply to a mobile park contains 0.024 ug/L of PCB. Calculate the chronic daily intake (CDI) of PCB (mg/(kg*d)) of an adult resident of the mobile park who weighs 85 kg and consumes 2.3 L of water per day.
Chlorine is the most widely used disinfectant for killing pathogens during water treatment. Determine the kilograms of chlorine used daily at a water treatment plant handling 10,000 cubic meters per day of flow at a chlorine dosage of 10 mg/L.
Coming home after the end of the winter semester, you find that your family’s swimming pool has not be maintained well. In particular, it has no chlorine residual at all, and it is full of tree leaves. You buy a concentrated chlorine solution (1% as Cl2) and begin to meter it into the pool at a rate of 100 mL/hour. The pool has a volume of 200 m3. You also add new water, and remove in-pool water, at a rate of 3.785 L/minute. The chlorine reacts with the organic matter in the with a rate of 0.5/hour. How long will it take to get the Cl2 residual up to 1 mg/L if you add Cl2 continously.
Problem 1.1. Answer the following questions based on your textbook reading and/or ancillary sources. Make sure to always cite your source. a) Where does Los Angeles get its water from? How much water comes from each source? For any external (non-local) sources, how is the surface water transported to Southern California? b) What is the long-term average precipitation rate of the global hydrologic cycle (in meters/year)? How does that compare to the driest and wettest places on Earth and to Los Angeles? c) How does the long-term global surface precipitation rate (in m/year) compare to the long-term global surface evaporation rate (m/year)?
Q3: Calculate the steady-state CO2 concentration of a single family home with 3 bedrooms, 3 people, a total area of 114m^2. Assume an outdoor concentration of CO2 of 400 ppm and that each of the house’s occupants produce .005 L/s of CO2/person. Assume 100% outside air with no recirculating.
