Question: A point source is discharged into an estuary having the following characteristics: Dispersion coefficient = 1 0 5 m 2 / day Flow = 4

A point source is discharged into an estuary having the following characteristics:
Dispersion coefficient =105 m2/day
Flow =4105 m3/day
Width =110 m
Depth =3 m
The pollutant settles (settling velocity =0.11 m/day). What mass loading could be input
to this system under steady-state conditions if the allowable concentration at the outfall is
10 ppb? Express your results in kg/day. Assume complete lateral and vertical mixing at
the outfall.
