The discharge from a food processing plant is the only source of BOD in a river. The oxygensag curve shows a minimum DO concentration of 3.0 mg/L. The DO concentrationimmediately downstream of the discharge is at saturation (10.0 mg/L). Other characteristics ofthe system are as follows: u = 60 miles/day; kr = 0.80 days-1; kd = 0.20 days-1.a. Currently the food processing plant does not treat the waste. What percent removal ofthe BOD would be required to ensure that the DO of the river at any locationdownstream of the plant is always greater than 5.0 mg/L?b. How far downstream would the lowest DO levels occur?c. What ultimate BOD concentration of the mixture of the river and waste immediatelydownstream of the discharge would result in a minimum DO concentration of 5.0mg/L?
Consider a lake with 100 × 106 m2 of surface area for which the only source of phosphorus is the effluent from a wastewater treatment plant. The effluent flow rate is 0.4 m3 /s, and its phosphorous concentration is 10 mg/L. The lake is also fed by a stream having 20 m3 /s of flow with no phosphorous. If the phosphorous settling rate is estimated to be 10 m/yr, estimate the average phosphorous concentration in the lake. What level of phosphorous removal at the treatment plant would be required to keep the average concentration below 0.010 mg/L?

A) Large wooden vats are contained a brine. One of these vats has been leaking directly to into the water table. The concentration of chloride in the brine is 1575mg/L. The flow in the aquifer that receives the brine is essentially one- dimensional and has the following characteristics: hydraulic conductivity-2.93×10+ m/sec and effective porosity 0.259. The estimated effective diffusion coefficient for chloride is 2×10 m/see. The concentration of chloride above any background value at distance 125m from leaking vat 0.5years after the leak began is 715mg/L. Calculate the hydraulic gradient of this flow.
