You are building a wastewater lagoon with an inlet/outlet flow rate of 3,100 m3/day. The BOD inlet load is 26 mg/L and you need to achieve 12 mg/L at the outlet. The half-life of BOD is 2.4 days. What is the volume required for the lagoon? If the wastewater stopped entering the lagoon and was replaced by freshwater, how long would it take for the outlet BOD concentration to reach 1 ppm?

Poorly treated municipal wastewater is discharged to a stream. The river flow rate upstream of the discharge point is Qus = 8.7 cubic meters per second. The discharge occurs at a flow of Qd = 0.9 cubic meters per second and has a BOD concentration of 50 mg/L. Assuming that the upstream BOD concentration is negligible. (a) What is the BOD concentration just downstream of the discharge point, after mixing? (b) If the stream has a cross-sectional area of 10 square meters, what would the BOD concentration be 50 km downstream? BOD is removed with a first-order decay rate constant equal to 0.20/day.
