A city’s sewage outfall flows 40 ft3/s of sewage with a BOD concentration of 30 mg/L anda DO of 1.5 mg / L into a small river that has a flow rate of 280 ft3/s and a velocity of 1.1 ft /s.The river has a natural BOD of 3.5 mg/L and at this time of year the DO level is 7 mg/L. Giventhe water temperature this time of year the DO saturation is 8.5 mg / L. Given a deoxygenationcoefficient of 0.59 day-1 and a rearation coefficient of 0.70 day-1, answer the following:a. what is the basic assumption we make regarded the mixing of waste into the river?b. calculate Do amd Lo just downstream from the outfallc. calculate the tiem and distance when DO is a minimumd. calculate the minimum DOe. Find the DO 10 miles downstream.

Water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid. How does this property typically affect a lake ecosystem in freezing temperatures? O When the lake is frozen, fish still have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimming as well as access to food on the bottom of the lake O When the lake is frozen, fish still have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimming but no longer have access to food on the bottom of the lake. O When the lake is frozen, fish no longer have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimmng but do have access to food on the bottom of the lake. O When the lake is frozen, fish no longer have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimming and no longer have access to food on the bottom of the lake
People often propose new dams to deal with increasing concerns about severe drought, but a problem with this approach is that dams are ineffective in storing water dams discourage water conservation efforts animals can't live upstream of dams, where the water flow changes terrestrial animals generally find dam water too salty for their use dams restrict water flow, damage habitats, and can cause degradation of natural areas
As warmer temperatures increase evaporation, what will be the effect of increased cloud cover? A warming effect in all locations A cooling effect in all situations Warming in some situations; cooling in others Water vapor does not trap heat, so there will be no warming or cooling Warmer temperatures actually lead to a decrease in cloud cover

Group of answer choices -by far, the biggest problem is pollution from oil spills from ships out at sea -coastal "dead zones" with highly-depleted oxygen can be associated excess nitrogen and phosphorus runoff -an estimated 80% of marine pollution originates on land -nearly 40% of the world’s population lives on or near the coast
