A tannery with a wastewater flow of 0.011 m½ and a BOD; of 590 mg/L discharges into a creek. The creek has a 10-year, 7-day low flow of 1.7 m^3/s. Upstream of the tannery, the BOD5 of the creek is 0.65 mg/L. The BOD rate constant k is 0.115 d-^1for the tannery and 3.7 d-^1 for the creek. The temperature of both the creek and the tannery is 20°C. Calculate the initial ultimate BOD after mixing.
