(a) Assuming the Ganges River is well mixed immediately at the point of discharge of the sewage stream, what is the DO in mg/L immediately downstream of the discharge?(b) What is the initial oxygen deficit in the mixed sewage and river water in mg/L?(c) Suppose the following data are collected to estimate the five-day BOD in the river and sewage water:Screenshot 2024-03-14 at 5.33.42PM.png(d) Calculate the ultimate BOD of the mixed river and sewage stream.(e) Estimate the reaeration constant assuming the mean depth of the river is 1.5m and the mean velocity is 0.1 m/s.(f) Suppose the deoxygenation constant is 4.5(kr) d^-1. At what time downstream will the critical point occur?(g) What would the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration in the Ganges River be in mg/L?(h) Draw the oxygen sag curve for the river.(i) Will there be negative effects on the aquatic ecosystem?(j) What effects might there be on human health and recreation? Note that the Ganges is a source of drinking water and water for washing and agriculture, and it also has spiritual and socio-economic significance to the surrounding populations.\table[[,\table[[Volume of],[Sample (mL)
