Question: A point source of a pollutant ( Cw = 4 0 0 mg L 1 ) is discharged to a river at Qw = 0

A point source of a pollutant (Cw =400 mg L1) is discharged to a river at
Qw =0.5\times 106 m3 d1. The flow velocity of the river Qr =12\times 106 m3 d1, and river
background pollutant concentration Cr =1 mg L1. Calculate the pollutant concentration
at 8 km below the injection point. Cross- sectional area of the river A =2000 m2. First-order
pollutant decay rate constant k =0.8 d1. State any assumptions that you used.
