A stream with a flow of 1.7 m°/s and BOD 3.4 mg/l is saturated with DO (9.27 mg/l at 20°C). It receives a treated effluent discharge from a cocoa processing factory of BOD 6780 kg/day and DO of 5.0 mg/I. The BOD of the stream immediately after mixing is 7.6 mg/l. The DO at a point 36 km downstream is 7.20 mg/l. The average velocity of the stream flow is 0.2 m/s. Determine the flow and the BOD in mg/l of the treated effluent discharged from the cocoa

Can you help me solve this question please? Thank you Salt lake has no outlet i.e., the inlet flow is completely balanced by evaporation. Lake has a volume of 2.5 x 1011 m3 and the concentration of salt in the lake is 52 g/L. Inlet stream to the lake has a concentration of 0.18 g/L and is flowing at a rate of 3.7 x 109 m3/yr. Lake initially had a concentration of 0.18 g/L and the outflow abruptly stopped, how long ago did that occur?
