Q/2: A city discharges 115000 m3/d of wastewater nto a stream whose minimum rate of flow is 8.5 m3/s. The velocity of the stream is about 3.2Km/hr, the temperature of the wastewater is 20 oC and that of the stream is 15 oC. The BOD5 at 20 oC of the wastewater is 200mg/l and that of the stream is 1mg/l. The wastewater contains no dissolved oxygen but the stream is 90% saturated upstream of the discharge.
