Basic Concepts of Water Resource Sustainability

The majority of the earth's surface is composed of water. The water which is available for use by the living beings on earth comes from various water resources. Water resources are the naturally occurring water bodies that are intended to be used by the living beings on earth for drinking and other uses. Water resources provide 3% as freshwater, 97% as saltwater, two-thirds of which are frozen as glaciers and ices. The remaining water which generally doesn't remain frozen are the water resources found underground, precisely known as groundwater. The majority of these water sources act as non-convention sources of power generation, like in hydropower stations.

Suppose you are to measure the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) removal rate for a primary wastewater treatment plant. You take two samples of raw sewage on its way into the plant and two samples of the effluent leaving the plant. Standard five day BOD tests are run on the four samples with no seeding, producing the following data (See Figure attached) Find BOD5 for the raw and treated sewage, and the percent removal of BOD in the treatment plant. Find the DO (dissolved oxygen) that would be expected in sample two at the end of the test. What would be the maximum volume of treated sewage for Sample 4 that could be put into the 300-mL BOD bottle and still have the DO after five days remain above 2 mg/L?
