A lagoon with volume 1200 m^3 has been receiving a steady flow of a conservative waste at the rate of 100 m^3/day for a long enough time to assume that steady-state conditions apply. The waste entering the lagoon has a concentration of 10mg/L. Assuming complete mix conditions, if the concentration suddenly increase to 100mg/L, what would the concentration in the effluent be 7 days later (after the sudden increase of input concentration)?
