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 municipal wastewater treatment plant uses a circular clarifier. It receives 12 million gallons per day of wastewater. The clarifier radius is 25 ft and the depth is 29 ft. What is the detention time in the clarifier? What is the overflow rate? (1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons)
Below a discharge from wastewater treatment plant, an 8.6-km stream has a reoxygenation constant of 0.4 /d, a velocity of 0.15 m/s, a dissolved oxygen concentration of 6 mg/L and an ultimate oxygen demand of 25 mg/L. The stream is at 15 °C. The deoxygenation constant is estimated at 0.25 /d. Will there be fish in this stream? 2.
A city wishes to discharge wastewater primary effluent to a river which supports a trout. The state requires the city to show that the trout population is protected. Trout require a minimum of 4 mg/l of dissolved oxygen to survive. Determine the minimum downstream dissolved oxygen concentration from the following information about the wastewater discharge and river. Does the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration meet the requirements? Wastewater discharge=0.45m3/s, river flow rate= 8.5 m3/s, river cross-sectional area=19m2, dissolved Oxygen concentration in the wastewater= 0.2mg/l, dissolved oxygen content of the river upstream = 8.1mg/l, saturation dissolved oxygen concentration at 20 C= 9.0 mg/l, BOD concentration in wastewater = 85 mg/l, BOD concentration upstream in the river= 0.2 mg/l, BOD decay constant = 0.2 d-1, and the reaeration constant for the river= 0.4 d-1.
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?
