If you are designing a monitoring program for dissolved oxygen in a stream that receives inputs from a wastewater treatment plant, and the average stream velocity is 30 meters/min, the de-oxygenation rate coefficient (ka) is 0.3 day-1 and the re-aeration rate coefficient (ka) is 0.5 day1. (a) Where specifically (meters downstream of the discharge), should a sample be taken to determine the greatest dissolved oxygen impact? (b) There is a water quality criteria that states that DO may not fall below 4.2 mg/L, if the initial oxygen deficit is 0 mg/L and oxygen saturation is 8 mg/L, what is the maximum allowable ultimate BOD concentration (Lo)? What impact do you think an elevated SOD value have on this situation?

Question 8A 200 g/l solution of common salt was discharged into a stream at a constant rate of 25l/s. The background concentration of the salt in the stream water was found to be 10 ppm. At a downstream section where the solution was believed to have been completely mixed, the salt concentration was found to reach an equilibrium value of 45 ppm. Estimate the discharge in the stream.

In a rapid sand filter, the time for reaching particle break through (T,) is defined as the time elapsed from start of filter run to the time at which the turbidity of the effluent from the filter is greater than 2.5 NTU. The time for reaching terminal head loss (T,) is defined as the time elapsed from the start of the filter run to the time when head loss across the filter is greater than 3 m. The effect of increasing the filter depth (while keeping all other conditions same) on T and T is (A) T increases and T decreases. (B) Both T and T increase. (C) T decreases and T, increases. (D) Both T and T , decrease.
