Chapter 2, Problem 2.6.3P

Between 2009 and 2050, as the world population is expected to increase by 2.3 billion, urban populations are projected to grow by 2.9 billion-from 3.4 to 6.3 billion (UNDESA, 2009). Urban areas are therefore expected to absorb all of the world’s population growth over the next four decades, while also drawing in some of the rural population. Furthermore, most of the urban population growth will be concentrated in the cities and towns of less developed regions that already face enormous backlogs in shelter, infrastructure, and services, as well as insufficient drinking water supply, deteriorating sanitation, and increasing environmental pollution. What would you say are the most important factors of water resources sustainability that must be studied to handle this urban growth, particularly in the less developed regions?

04 Q4 A waste effluent of 1.25 m/s with BOD, 183 mg/L, DO=0 mg/L and T = 20 °C is to be discharged into a river of 8 m³/s flow, BOD, = 2mg/L, DO -9.14 mg/L and T= 15 °C. At 20 °C, (K₁) is 0.3/day and (K2) is 0.9/day. The average velocity of the river is 0.8 m/s. 1) Is DO min within the environmental limitations? 2) At what distance is the maximum deficit located. 3) Draw the oxygen sag curve? Given the saturation concentration at 15 °C and at mixed temperature = 10.15 mg/L
Calculate 1- the effluent BOD, of a two-stage trickling filter with the following flows, BOD, and dimensions? Q-5000 m³/day, influent BOD,-280 mg/L, volume of first filter-1000 m³, volume of second filter-800 m³, filter depth-2 m, r₁=1, z=1.25. Also, 2- calculate organic loading rate (BOD, kg/day) 3- Hydraulic loading (m³/m²/d), 4- efficiency of each stage 5- overall removal efficiency.
Q3: Determine the force in each member of the shown truss, and state whether they are tension or compression. 40 kN 3 m 10 kN A 25-1.25 m m -3.5 m- 3 m B
