Question
The treated domestic sewage of a town is to be discharged in the natural stream in which
minimum flow is equal to 0.14 m³/s. The BOD in the stream on the upstream side is 3 mg/L. The
treatment plant receives the waste water from a town with a population of 60000 persons with a
dry weather flow of ( 153 liters/capita/day. Assume per capita BOD contribution as 0.07
kg/day.
a) Determine the percentage of the purification required in the treatment plant if the permissible
BOD on the downstream side of the stream is 5 mg/L.
b) Draw a labeled diagram to show the process of self-purification of the natural stream if it
receives the treated effluent.
