During heavy rainstorms, sewer systems in some older cities can be overwhelmed with water. This can result in raw sewage being discharged into nearby waterways. What impact might this discharge have on the waterway?

Storm Sewers and Detention

The storm drains system transports rainwater or stormwater and other runoff from roads, parking lots, and roof downpipes directly to nearby creeks, rivers, or the sea without any treatment.

A town with a sewer population of 4,000 has a daily wastewater flow, including industrial wastewaters of 1,600 m³ and an average BOD of 280 mg per liter. The industrial discharges to the municipal sewers are 60 m³ at 1,800 mg per liter BOD from a meat processing plant and 100 m³ at 400 mg per liter BOD from a soap canning plant. Determine the contribution of domestic flow in liters per person and the BOD in grams per person based on the town's wastewater, excluding the industrial wastewater.

A river of discharge of 90 cfs with pollutant concentration of 30 mg/l. The river receives a discharge input from a hospital of 10 MGD with pollutant concentration of 200mg/l. After 3 Km from this point, the river receives a discharge of 70 cfs with pollutant concentration of 50 mg/l from a factory input at the same river bank, while at about 5 Km from this point a discharge of 100 MGD from another industry carrying a pollutant concentration of 50 mg/l input the river at the opposite side of the river. Find the pollutant concentration downstream and plot a profile for the pollutant concentration. معدلة 4:06 م
A bankrupt chemical firm has been taken over by new management. On the property, they found a 20,000 m3 brine (i.e., salt) pond containing 25,000 mg/L of salt. The new owners propose to flush the pond into their discharge pipe leading to the Pacific Ocean, which has a salt concentration of about 35,000 mg/L (or 3.5% salt). You have been hired by the company to calculate the flow rate (in m3/s) of freshwater (0 mg/L salt) that must they use to reduce the salt concentration in the pond to 500 mg/L within 3 months (90 days). To increase your billable hours, then calculate the total volume of water that was used (in m3) and the mass of salt (in kg) that was exported to the Pacific Ocean. You may assume the pond volume remains the same during the flushing process, the pond is completely mixed, and the salt is a conservative substance.
A combined sewer of circular section is to be designed in a sewage system for a city with a population of 100,000 in an area of 100 hectares. The mean flow of sewage from the city is 250 litre/capita/day. The rainfall intensity in the area is 4 cm/hr. The coefficient of runoff of the area is 0.48. The ratio of peak to average sewage flow is 2.0. The Manning's roughness coefficient is 0.012 and the Hazen-William's coefficient is 85. Using Manning's equation and Hazen- William's expression, determine the gradient of the sewer to carry the peak flow with a velocity of 1.2 m/s.
3. A 55.0 ML/d wastewater treatment plant discharges to a river system with a maximum spring flow of 149.5 m3/min and a minimum summer flow of 98.2 m3/min (upstream of the outfall from the plant). What total allowable BOD (mg/L) could be discharged by the plant if the BOD in the river after dilution must not exceed provincial standards, and there is already 1.1 mg/L of pollution in the river upstream?
A municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) receives a flow of 5.0 MGD. The WWTP does not have an equalization basin and therefore can have a peak hour flow that is 2.5 times the average daily flow. The WWTP has two circular, upflow clarifiers operating in parallel. The clarifiers must be designed to meet the following conditions: 1,000 gpd/ft (maximum) Average overflow rate = Peak overflow rate = 2,500 gpd/ft° (maximum) Basin depth = 10 ft What is the diameter of each primary clarifier? Hint: calculate the diameter for each a. of the given conditions, and select your diameter based on your results.
