Question: Fecal coliform level at point A on a river flowing at 9 0 MGD with a velocity of 1 0 mpd is 1 0 0

Fecal coliform level at point A on a river flowing at 90 MGD with a velocity of 10 mpd is 100/100 ml.A discharge of 10 MGD is applied at point A, with a fecal coliform level of 5x106/100 ml. Water sample from the river at a point B,5 miles downstream of A has fecal coliform concentration of 185,000/100 ml.
1. Determine the in-stream decay coefficient for fecal coliform [1/day]
2. If new regulations require coliform reduction by a factor of 1,000 at B, by what % should the fecal coliform levels be reduced at point A prior to discharge into the river
