Problem 1 (Problem 6.15-Textbook) Design two equally sized rectangular settling basins for treating a total flow rate of 2.5 MGD using an overflow rate of 500 gpd/ft² and a detention time of four hours. Use a length: width ratio of 4: 1 and assume that the basins are operating in parallel and that the effluent weir length in each basin is three times the basin width. Determine: a. The dimensions of each basin (ft). b. The weir loading rate (gpd/ft).
