(a) What is average flow rate over a typical day?
(b) What design volume is required for the equalization basin to provide for a uniform
outflow equal to the average daily flow? Assume that an addition of 25% to the estimated
volume will be provided to account for contingencies.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4c8dda43-a8c0-4b05-a02b-5a054b29c97d%2F05a4e97d-9888-4dc1-9e5f-50a0950424ee%2Fmx9fpvj_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
