A lagoon with volume 15,000 m3 is being polluted by a stream that flows at 1,000 m3/day and carries fecal bacteria with a concentration of 5,000 per mL due to a leaking sewage pipe. a) Assuming this has been going on for a while, that the lagoon is completely mixed (CSTR), and that the bacteria die off with a first-order decay constant of 0.1 day-1, what would be the concentration of the water

A bottle is filled with river water. The initial dissolved oxygen concentration is 10.2 mg/L. After 5 days the dissolved oxygen concentration is 3.0 mg/L. Calculate the BOD 5. in mg/l
Question 1: Is the dissolved oxygen level in the pond adequate for the fishes to thrive? Discuss the impact of low DO levels of water to aquatic organisms. Question 2: In typical aquatic environment, when dissolved organic matter is high, dissolved oxygen level tends to be low. Explain why this inverse relationship occurs.
Fifteen kilograms of contaminant is spilled into a stream 5 m wide and 1 m deep. The flow in the river is 2 m3/s, the longitudinal diffusion coefficient is 3 m2/s, and the decay constant is 50 d−1. A) Determine the maximum concentration in the stream at a drinking-water intake 1 km downstream from the spill. B) How would this concentration be affected if the decay constant is actually one- half of the estimated value?
A 2% sewage sample (in distilled water) was incubated for 3 days at 27°C temperature. After incubation, dissolved oxygen depletion of 10 mg/Lwas recorded. The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) rate constant at 27°C was found to be 0.23 day^-1 (at base e). What is the ultimate BOD (in mg/L) of the sewage?

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.
