A coal-fired power plant discharges 1 m^3/s of cooling water into a river, which has a flow of 9 m^3/s and a temperature of 20 degree C. According to the regulation, the temperature in the river immediately below the discharge cannot be increased by higher than 1 degree C. Therefore, what is the highest temperature of the cooling water is allowed for discharge?
