Flow rate: 1.5 m3/s Pollution: pesticide permethrin Lake size: 100m x100m x 2.5m Steady state concentration of permethrin leaving the lake is 1.4 ppm Average cross-sectional area of the river is 2.7 m2. Half-life of permethrin in this environment is 19 hrs. What is the concentration of permethrin entering the lake and what distance downstream of the outlet would the concentration be less than 1 ppm?
Estimate the constant flow rate of withdrawal from a 15 km² reservoir in a month (30days) during which the reservoir level dropped by 1 m despite an average inflow into the reservoir of 0.95 * 10 m³ /day. During the month, the average seepage loss from the reservoir was 4.5cm, the total precipitation on the reservoir was 19.5cm, and the total evaporation was 7.5cm.
A lagoon with a volume of 1200 m3 has been receiving a steady flow Q = 100 m3/day of a non-conservative pollutant with a reaction rate constant k1 = 0.2 day-1 for a long enough time to assume that steady state conditions apply (there is an effluent stream flowing out that needs to satisfy steady state conditions). The waste entering the lagoon has a concentration of 10 mg/L.Assuming complete mixing conditions, what would the concentration of the pollutant be in the effluent leaving the lagoon?
Please provide an explanation for evry formula and solution. And be clear with your answer. In 1997, Upper Grand watershed near Maputi, Bukidnon with an area of 4350 sq.km received 77.7 cm of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in the Grand River, which drained the watershed, was 39.6 cu.m/s. Infiltration was estimated to occur at an average rate of 9.2 x 10-7 cm/s. Evapotranspiration was estimated to be 45 cm/yr. What is the change in storage in the watershed in cm/yr. Also, calculate the runoff coefficient for this watershed.

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING a). Given that in a Simple Phosphorus Model the Phosphorus Balance indicates that the Rate of Addition of Phosphorus equals the Rate of Removal of Phosphorus, state the Phosphorus Balance Equation and fully define each term used. b). A phosphorus limited lake with surface area equal to 100 x 106 m2 is fed by a 20.0 m3/s stream that has a phosphorus concentration of 0.015mg/L. In addition, effluent from a point-source adds 1 g/s of phosphorus. The phosphorus settling rate is 10 m/yr. Estimate the average total phosphorus concentration. c). (ii) What rate of phosphorus removal at the wastewater treatment plant would be required to keep the concentration of phosphorus in the lake at an acceptable level of 0.015mg/L?
