Question: Problem 4 . A stream, with a flow rate of 2 MGD and with a BOD ( a nonconservative pollutant ) concentration of 2 0

Problem 4. A stream, with a flow rate of 2 MGD and with a BOD (a nonconservative pollutant) concentration of 20mgL, flows into a pond with 5 million gallons of water. That pond has a single stream outlet that flows into a second pond with 3 million gallons of water and a single outlet. The rate of decay of BOD is 0.3 day ?-1 and the growth rate for algae is 0.2 day ?-1. Assuming complete mixing within each pond, find the BOD concentration leaving the first pond, and the concentration of BOD leaving the second pond. (Assume steady state)(15 pts ) The other answer I got was wrong so please help!
