The lowest flow in the Ozama River in July is about 48 m3/s. The dissolved oxygen concentration of the river just upstream of the discharge point is 4 mg/l and the ultimate BOD of the river is 10 mg/l. A farm discharges 2m3/s of untreated wastewater with a dissolved oxygen concentration of 0.5 mg/l and an ultimate BOD of 300 mg/l. Both the river and the discharge are at 25°C. what is the initial oxygen deficiency after mixing (i.e., as soon as the wastewater and the river have mixed)? What is the ultimate initial BOD after mixing? Can the farm be allowed to continue discharging raw water? Justify your answer.
Drainage from a former pesticide manufacturing site enters Bear River at river kilometer 240. The drainage contains DDT, and the concentration of DDT after complete mixing is 5 µg/L. The town of Bear Valley, adult population 15,000, uses the river at river kilometer 40 for its water supply with only chlorination. The drainage has occurred for 30 years.

Derive the Streeter-Phelps sag curve equations. What is the minimum oxygen level in the river and the oxygen level 20 km downstream of the sewage outfall for the following case: ka=0.2 day', k=0.3 day', BOD in the stream before a sewage outfall is 2 mg/l, the river flow rate is 10 m³/s. the sewage outfall rate is 0.1 m/s with a BOD of 300 and the river velocity is 0.2 m/s.
The discharge from a food processing plant is the only source of BOD in a river. The oxygensag curve shows a minimum DO concentration of 3.0 mg/L. The DO concentrationimmediately downstream of the discharge is at saturation (10.0 mg/L). Other characteristics ofthe system are as follows: u = 60 miles/day; kr = 0.80 days-1; kd = 0.20 days-1.a. Currently the food processing plant does not treat the waste. What percent removal ofthe BOD would be required to ensure that the DO of the river at any locationdownstream of the plant is always greater than 5.0 mg/L?b. How far downstream would the lowest DO levels occur?c. What ultimate BOD concentration of the mixture of the river and waste immediatelydownstream of the discharge would result in a minimum DO concentration of 5.0mg/L?
Environmental Engineering Plateau Creek carries 5.0 m3/s of water with a selenium (Se) concentration of 0.0015mg/L. A farmer starts withdrawing 1.0m3/s of creek water to irrigate the land. During the irrigation, the water picks up selenium from the salts in the soil. One-half of the irrigation water is lost to the ground and plants, and the other half is returned to Plateau Creek. The irrigation runoff to the creek contains 1.00mg/L of selenium. Selenium is a conservative, nonreactive substance (it does not degrade in the stream), and the stream does not pick up more selenium from any other source. If the farmer irrigates continuously, what will be the steady-state concentration of selenium in the stream downstream from the farm (after the irrigation run-off returns to the stream)? Fish are sensitive to selenium levels over 0.04 mg/L. The farmer agrees not to use more water than will keep the stream selenium level below this ciritical concentration. How much water can the farmer…

Plateau Creek in Colorado carries 10 m3/s of water with a Selenium (Se) concentration of 0.003 mg/L. A farmer starts withdrawing 2 m3/s of the creek water to irrigate his land. During irrigation, the water picks up Se from the salts in the soil. One third of the irrigation water is lostto the ground and plants, and the other two-thirds is returned back to Plateau Creek. The irrigation run-off back to the creek contains 1.5 mg/L Se. Se is a conservative, non-reactive substance, and the stream does not pick up more Se from any other source. If the farmer irrigatescontinuously, what will be the steady-state concentration of Se in Plateau Creek, downstream from the farm (after the irrigation run-off returns to the Creek)?
An acrated lagoon (a sewage treatment pond that is mixed with air) is being proposed for a small lake com- munity in northern Wisconsin. The lagoon must be designed for the summer population but will operate year-round. The winter population is about half of the summer population. Based on these design assump- tions, the volume of the proposed lagoon is 3420 m³. The daily volume of sewage in the winter is estimated to be 300 m³. In January, the temperature of the lagoon drops to 0°C but it is not yet frozen. If the temperature of the wastewater flowing into the lagoon is 15°C, estimate the temperature of the lagoon at the end of a day. Assume the lagoon is completely mixed and that there are no losses to the atmosphere or the lagoon walls or floor. Also assume that the sewage has a density of 1000 kg m and a specific heat of 4.186 kJ kg K-¹

Pachacamac Creek has a flow rate of 0.43 m³/s and an ultimate BOD, Lo, of 5 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING-WATER POLLUTION: The ultimate BOD of a river just below a sewage outfall is 50.0 mg/L, and the DO is at the saturation values of 10.0 mg/L. The deoxygenation rate coefficient, kd is 0.30/day, and the reaeration coefficient, kr is 0.90/day. The river is flowing at a speed of 48 miles per day. The only source of BOD on this river is this single outfall. FIND: The critical distance downstream at which DO is a minimum. The minimum DO. If a wastewater treatment plant is to be built, what fraction of BOD would have to be removed from the sewage to assure a minimum of 5.0 mg/L everywhere downstream?
