Question

Watershed area = 11.1 acres                 Average N concentration of inflow = 1.9 mg/L

            Total Rainfall = 44.75 inches                  Average N concentration of outflow = 1.4 mg/L

Total pond inflow = 330,441 ft3              Average P concentration of inflow = 0.42 mg/L

Total pond outflow = 288,492 ft3           Average P concentration of outflow = 0.23 mg/L

Total pond volume = 46,893 ft3 (this is the volume to the top of the riser before overflow occurs)

 

Answer the following questions:

  1. a) What percentage of the total rainflow flowed into the pond?
  2. b) If the pond were completely empty, how much rainfall in inches would be required to fill it to the total pond volume? Use your answer to question A to help answer this.
  3. c) What is the total Nitrogen load flowing into the pond in lbs/Acre/Year?
  4. d) How many lbs of Nitrogen did the pond remove over the year?
  5. e) What percentage of Phosphorous was removed by the pond?
