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.

There are currently 420 inhabitants in the small village of Pravino. The population is estimated to increase to 940 in thirty years. The current average peak flow is 1.2 L/s and is expected to increase to 2.14 L/s by 2050. The organic load is approximately 45 g BOD5/capita/day. The community is considering a free surface wetland or a lagoon to treat their wastewater. 1. Use the BOD loading to estimate the maximum surface area (in ha) required for a free surface wetland to serve the community by 2050 and remove BOD to 30 mg O2/L and TSS to 30 mg/L.
The town of Viracocha discharges 17,360 m³/day of treated wastewater into the Pachacamac Creek. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and a BOD decay constant, k, of 0.12/day at 10 °C. Pachacamac Creek has a flow rate of 0.43 m³/s and an ultimate BOD, Lo, of 5 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L. Compute the DO and the initial ultimate BOD, Lo, after mixing. Draw the Mass Balance Diagram.
9.4. A small farm reservoir behaves as two identical CFSTRs in series. Flow into the reservoir consists of runoff from pasture land having an average BOD, of 50 g/m³ and an average flow rate of 0.5 m³/s. Volume of the reservoir is 2.16 x 106 m³. If k = 0.2 d-¹ and k, = 0.35 d-¹ at 20°C, determine the dissolved-oxygen concentration if the water temperature is 20°C, the inflow is anaerobic, and steady-state conditions exist.
An action will release DO and BOD to a large low velocity river at a location where the existing conditions of the river have already been determined. Assess the impacted conditions (as a result of this action) at a location 10,000 m down-river from where the action releases the pollution. River: Q = 2 m³/s, A=1m², T = 15 degC, L = 5 mg/L, DO = DOsat Source1: Q = 0.5 m³/s, T = 25 degC, L = 100 mg/L, DO = 1 mg/L
