The volume of ocean water is 1338x10^6 km^3. The runoff from rivers is 44.7x10^3 km^3/year and the runoff from groundwater is 2.2x10^3 km^3/year. The precipitation on the ocean is 1270mm/year (The ocean area is 361.3x10^6 km^2). Estimate the residence time of water molecules in the ocean (in years).
In hydrological terms what are recharge and residence time and What happens if pumping rate from aquifers exceeds recharge rate?
4. (Modified from problem in an FE Review Book) A municipal wastewater treatment plant is discharging its effluent into a river. Based on a mass balance at the discharge, the initial BODult and initial dissolved oxygen deficit in the stream are given as 8.2 mg/L and 2.4 mg/L, respectively. Determine the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of a stream given the following water quality and kinetic parameters: dissolved oxygen saturation = 9.2 mg/L, reaeration rate coefficient = 0.8 /day, decomposition rate coefficient = 0.25 /day. Minimum D.O. concentration: mg/L Check
A small lake with volume 20.0*10^3 m^3 has no natural pollutant sources. However, a sewage pipe discharges sewage containing a pollutant into the lake. Conditions in the sewage pipe are Qs=0.5m^3/s and Cs=100.0mg/L. The polutant is destroyed in the lake with a first-order rate constant of 0.20/day. THe flow rate out of the lake in 5.0 m^3/s. Assume that the lake is well-mixed. a) Calculate the steady-state pollutant concentration in the lake. b) What is the retentiont time for this lake?
Groundwater contaminated with 800 mg/L compound with MW=92.14 g/mole. How many liters/hr of air are needed to strip 98% of the compound from 35 m3/hr of water? The Henry's constant=0.2 atm-1.
The flow-rate into a lake will be 3,000,000,000 liters per day and flow-rate out is 3,000,000,000 liters per day. The concentration of contaminant in the water flowing in is 0.0001mg/L. The initial volume of the lake is 737,040,000,000 million liters with a current mercury concentration of 0.8 mg/Liter of water. How much time until contaminant levels to drop to 0.0005mg / Liter once the dams have been opened to full capacity. (Assume evaporations rates, ground water recharge nor other environmental conditions do not affect your model.)
In a reservoir located at the outlet of a 388.5 km2 watershed, the mean annual precipitation was 965 mm, mean annual watershed runoff (flow into reservoir) was 330 mm, mean annual reservoir evaporation was 1245 mm, mean daily withdrawal from reservoir was 455 MLD, mean reservoir surface area, As = 1620 acres (6.56 km2).

Biological parameters are important factor that determine quality of water. It is more important than physical and chemical parameters in term of direct effect on human health. Some biological characteristics include bacteria, protozoa, virus and algae. Explain three effects of biological parameters on water quality.
