Question: A WWTP generates 2 2 . 0 MGD of effluent and discharges it into a nearby river. The deoxygenation rate constant at 2 0 C

A WWTP generates 22.0 MGD of effluent and discharges it into a nearby river. The deoxygenation rate constant at 20C is 0.6day-1, and the reoxygenation rate constant at 20C is 0.8day-1. The effluent has a temperature of 20C. The river has a flow rate of 12m3s and temperature of 15C in the wintertime. The effluent mixes with the river (let's call this the mixing point). After the effluent has mixed with the river, what are the rate constants you should use to calculate the critical deficit?
