A large stream has a reoxygenation constant of 0.4 per day (on base 10). At a velocity of 0.85 m/s; and at the point at which an organic pollutant is discharged, it is saturated with oxygen at 10 mg/L (D= 0). Below the outfall, the ultimate demand for oxygen is found to be 20 mg/L and the deoxygenation constant is 0.2 per day (on base 10). What is the dissolved oxygen at 48.3 km downstream?

Poorly treated municipal wastewater is continuously discharged directly into a lake. The discharge from the wastewater plant into the lake occurs at a flow of Qd = 1 m3/hr.
