(a) Determine the chlorine concentration at the discharge point of the reservoir. (b) The treated water flows from the reservoir into a transmission main. The pipe carrying the water has a diameter of 2 m and flows full. In the transmission main, chlorine decays at a rate of 0.19 h-1. Determine the concentration of chlorine 2 km from the treatment plant.
