A wastewater treatment plant receives, at an average, 70% and 130% of water supply during dry and wet seasons, respectively. The population of the service area is 200,000 with average municipal water demand of 650 Lpcd (liter per capita day). Calculate the average and peak flow rate for the wastewater treatment plant for the dry and wet seasons, respectively.

Basic Concepts of Water Resource Sustainability

The majority of the earth's surface is composed of water. The water which is available for use by the living beings on earth comes from various water resources. Water resources are the naturally occurring water bodies that are intended to be used by the living beings on earth for drinking and other uses. Water resources provide 3% as freshwater, 97% as saltwater, two-thirds of which are frozen as glaciers and ices. The remaining water which generally doesn't remain frozen are the water resources found underground, precisely known as groundwater. The majority of these water sources act as non-convention sources of power generation, like in hydropower stations.

Question

A wastewater treatment plant receives, at an average, 70% and 130% of water supply during dry
and wet seasons, respectively. The population of the service area is 200,000 with average

Sewerage waste was discharged into Mulungushi River from Iris lodge which is located along the banks of the river as they had a problem with a septic tank since it was full. This problem normally occurs in the rain season and this resulted in a mixture having DO of about 9mg/L. The average occupancy rate monthly is about 70%. The septic tanks are emptied after every two weeks. After 5 days, DO dropped to 3mg/L when ZEMA carried out the analysis of the water sample in the river. The reaction constant rate k was found to be 0.22 day ^(-1) and the oxygen consumed in the first five days was 200mg/L. a) How do suspended solids and chemicals affect the surrounding environment? Give two examples. b) What would be the ultimate carbonaceous BOD? c) What will be the remaining oxygen demand after 5 days? d) What advise can you give to the to the lodge owner as a Civil Engineer?
A city has a current total population of 40,000 residents. The estimated design population is 55,000 at the end of a design period of 20 years. Determine the design average, peak, and minimum flow rates. Use the following data. Current daily average flow to the wastewater treatment plant Daily average I/I flow Hourly peak I/I flow = 18,400 m³/d = 80 Lpcd = 180 Lpcd A new junior college will attract 1500 nonresident students per day. The daily average wastewater flow is 50 Lpcd. A new industry will add a daily average flow of 900 m /d for a 24 h/d operation. An hourly peak flow of 1500 m’/d will occur during the day shift. The plant will be shut down one day a week. It is expected that 10% per capita reduction in wastewater flow will occur with the future population growth. The minimum to average flow ratio is 0.4 for the current dry weather wastewater flow.
