Water Budget Problem: Residential Water Usage You are tasked with calculating a water budget for a residential household over the course of a month. The household consists of two adults, two children, and a small garden. The water usage will include indoor activities such as bathing, cooking, and cleaning, as well as outdoor activities like watering the garden. Given Information: • Average water consumption per person per day for indoor activities: 100 liters • Average water consumption for outdoor garden watering per day: 50 liters • Water meter reading at the beginning of the month: 150,000 liters • Water meter reading at the end of the month: 151,500 liters Assumptions: • The month has 30 days. • There is no leakage or wastage of water. • Water used for other purposes (e.g., car washing, swimming pool) is negligible and can be ignored. Question: What is the total water usage over one month? O 11500 litters O 15000 liters O 14250 litters O 13500 liters

A town with a sewer population of 4,000 has a daily wastewater flow, including industrial wastewaters of 1,600 m³ and an average BOD of 280 mg per liter. The industrial discharges to the municipal sewers are 60 m³ at 1,800 mg per liter BOD from a meat processing plant and 100 m³ at 400 mg per liter BOD from a soap canning plant. Determine the contribution of domestic flow in liters per person and the BOD in grams per person based on the town's wastewater, excluding the industrial wastewater.
Wells, ponds, rivers or springs are traditionally used for different purposes and they may not be operational all year. Some water sources are more reliable, convenient, or provide water that tastes better.Against the pretext:i) What technology choice is suitable for countries with one or two rainy seasons with an average annual rainfall ranging from 250 mm to 750 mm and where other improved water-supply systems are difficult to implement?ii). Almost 1 liter per horizontal square meter per millimeter of rainfall. Thus, estimate the quantity of water under a roof of 10 square meter per 750mm annual rainfall.iii). What model choice is appropriate for estimating the cost of development?
Consider the following data relating to performance of a centrifugal pump: speed = 1200 rpm, flow rate = 30 l/s, head = 20 m, and power = 5 kW. If the speed of the pump is increased to 1500 rpm, assuming the efficiency is unaltered, the new flow rate and head, respectively, will be 46.9 l/s and 25.0 m 37.5 l/s and 25.0 m 46.9 l/s and 31.3 37.5 l/s and 31.3 m

You are provided with the following information about a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This plant uses the traditional activated-sludge process. Assume the microorganisms are 55 percent efficient at converting food to biomass, the organisms have a first-order death rate constant of 0.050/day, and the microbes reach half of their maximum growth rate when CE 3059 Page 2 of 2the BOD5 concentration is 10.0 mg/L. There are 150,000 people in the community (their wastewater production is 225 L/day-capita, 0.10 kg BOD5/capita-day). The effluent standard is BOD5 = 20 mg/L and TSS = 20 mg/L. Suspended solids were measured as 4,300 mg/L in a wastewater sample obtained from the aeration tank, 15,000 mg/L in the secondary sludge, 200 mg/L in the plant influent, and 100 mg/L in the primary clarifier effluent.

Chlorine is the most widely used disinfectant for killing pathogens during water treatment. Determine the kilograms of chlorine used daily at a water treatment plant handling 10,000 cubic meters per day of flow at a chlorine dosage of 10 mg/L.
Coming home after the end of the winter semester, you find that your family’s swimming pool has not be maintained well. In particular, it has no chlorine residual at all, and it is full of tree leaves. You buy a concentrated chlorine solution (1% as Cl2) and begin to meter it into the pool at a rate of 100 mL/hour. The pool has a volume of 200 m3. You also add new water, and remove in-pool water, at a rate of 3.785 L/minute. The chlorine reacts with the organic matter in the with a rate of 0.5/hour. How long will it take to get the Cl2 residual up to 1 mg/L if you add Cl2 continously.
