Question

Water with a chloride concentration of 50 mg/L is discharged into a river at a flowrate of 100 m³/h into a river. The flowrate of the river is 6 000 m³/h and the Cl? concentration is 2 mg/L before the discharge. i) What is the total flowrate? Qtotal = m³/h ii) What is the concentration at the end of the mixing zone? C (when well mixed) = mg/L The Gariep Dam has a volume of 0.55 km³. If the flowrate out of the dam is 0.03667 km³/yr. What is the residence time of water in the dam? (Give your answer rounded to the nearest number of years.) TGariep = (Give your answer rounded to the nearest number of years.)

1. Consider a lake with a volume of 107 m3 fed by a polluted river having a flow rate of 5 m3/s and pollutant concentration equal to 10 mg/L. There is also a sewage outfall that discharges 0.5 m3/s of wastewater into the lake having a pollutant concentration of 100 mg/L. The stream and sewage wastes have a constant decay rate coefficient of k=0.20/d (rate = k*lake volume*concentration). This means that 20% of the pollutant in the lake are destroyed every day. Assuming the pollutant is completely mixed in the lake and assuming no evaporation or other water losses or gains, find the steady-state pollutant concentration in the lake. 2. In the system described above, the sewage outfall is shut down. What is the concentration in the lake after 4 days (assume completely stirred lake).

A municipal wastewater treatment plant serving a city of 200,000 discharges 1.10 m^3/s of treated effluent having an ultimate BOD of 50 mg/L into a stream that has a flow of 8.70 m^3/s and an ultimate BOD of 6 mg/L. The deoxygenation constant kd is 0.20/d. a) Assuming complete and instantaneous mixing, estimate the ultimate BOD of the river just downstream from the outfall. b) If the stream has a constant cross-section so that it flows at a fixed speed equal to 0.30 m/s, estimate the BOD of the stream at a distance 30,000 m downstream.
