Apam and acta are two communities separated by a feeder road. The only river serving as a source of water for both communities is 10m from Acts town. Apam is a farming community and Acts houses a cocoa processing factory A. Identify all the possible sources of environmental pollution from these two communities B. If the feeder road is to be constructed to asphaltic road, what are the possible effects of the construction activities on the two towns?

An environmental engineer is evaluating an option to construct a secondary containment structure around a hydrocarbon processing unit. The first level of containment cost a total of $9 million, and the second levee is expected to have the same cost. The first level of containment is expected to have a reliability of 0.94, and the second level will function as an independent parallel component in the hydrocarbon spill prevention system. If the damages avoided by preventing a hydrocarbon spill are $150 million, what is the benefit-cost ratio of constructing a redundant containment structure?

The community of San Antonio is located in the Caranavi Province, Bolivia. According to the 2005 year survey, there are 420 habitants of the community. The population is estimated to increase to 940 by the year 2035. The average peak flow is currently 1.2 L/sec and is expected to increase to 2.14 L/sec by 2035. The organic load is estimated to be 45 gram BOD5/capita-day. The community is considering a free surface wetland to treat their wastewater. (a) What is the BOD5 loading generated in the year 2035 (kg/day)? (b) Use the BOD loading to estimate the maximum surface area (ha) required for a free surface wetland that would serve the community in 2035 and remove BOD to 30 mg/L. (c) Assuming you are now considering sizing a facultative lagoon instead of a free surface wetland. Quickly estimate the required surface area (m2) for a facultative lagoon to handle a peak flow in 2035, assuming a design water depth of 4 m and a hydraulic detention time of 20 days.

Problem 1A 300-house residential development is proposed. Assume that each person uses 500 liters on average eachday. Suppose that four people live in each house. Calculate how many more liters of water per day onaverage that will need to be supplied.
There are currently 420 inhabitants in the small village of Pravino. The population is estimated to increase to 940 in thirty years. The current average peak flow is 1.2 L/s and is expected to increase to 2.14 L/s by 2050. The organic load is approximately 45 g BOD5/capita/day. The community is considering a free surface wetland or a lagoon to treat their wastewater. 1. Use the BOD loading to estimate the maximum surface area (in ha) required for a free surface wetland to serve the community by 2050 and remove BOD to 30 mg O2/L and TSS to 30 mg/L.
