A Reverse Osmosis treatment plant is treating salty water on a farm and operates 24 hours a day. It has the capacity to treat 10000L/day of dirty water. The waste stream from the RO plant, which is 50% of the treatment capacity, is sent to an evaporation pond that is not properly lined and thus has salty waste stream infiltrating the ground below at a rate of 0.022*t m3/day. Assume no evaporation or rainfall and other sources or sinks from the pond. Over 365 days, what should be the minimum size of the pond so that the salty water doesn't overflow into the neighbouring paddocks? Use a spreadsheet to plot a curve of V of pond vs time (day). Give your answer to the nearest cubic meter with no decimal points.

Transcribed Image Text:A Reverse Osmosis treatment plant is treating salty water
on a farm and operates 24 hours a day. It has the capacity
to treat 10000L/day of dirty water. The waste stream from
the RO plant, which is 50% of the treatment capacity, is
sent to an evaporation pond that is not properly lined and
thus has salty waste stream infiltrating the ground below
at a rate of 0.022*t m3/day.
Assume no evaporation or rainfall and other sources or
sinks from the pond. Over 365 days, what should be the
minimum size of the pond so that the salty water doesn't
overflow into the neighbouring paddocks?
Use a spreadsheet to plot a curve of V of pond vs time
(day). Give your answer to the nearest cubic meter with no
decimal points.
