A water treatment system must be able to deliver 10 mgd of water to a city of 150,000 people. Estimate: (1) the diameter of three equally sized mixing basins 15 ft deep, with a detention time of 1.5 min, (2) the length, width, and corresponding surface area of three flocculator basins that are 10 ft deep, (3) the surface area of three settling basins that are 10 ft deep with 2-h detention periods, and (4) the required area of each of 15 rapid sand filters rated at 2 gal/min-ft².
