Fifty kilograms of a tracer is instantaneously released across over the entire width of a lake that is 25 m wide, 60 m long, and 3 m deep. If the tracer is released across the midpoint of the lake and the diffusion coefficient is estimated as 30 m²/d, esti mate the concentration on the lake shorelines across the width of the lake after 60 days.
