Transcribed Image Text:Design an oxidation pond to treat waste water
from a community of 10,000 people with a per
capita BOD contribution of 40 grams/day. Water
is supplied at a rate of 100 Ipcd and 80% of
this is converted to sewage. Determine the
detention time and also whether the effluent is
suitable for irrigation if 80% BOD removal is
achieved in the pond.
(d) the permissible BOD loading rate to
oxidation pond is 200 kg BOD/hectare
Assume :
(a) pond's length to width ratio 4 : 1
(b) depth of the pond is 2 m
(c) permissible BOD < 100 mg/L for irrigation
