Question: The BOD in a stream is 2 . 5 mg / L and the DO is 7 . 6 mg / L . Stream flow

The BOD in a stream is 2.5 mg/L and the DO is 7.6 mg/L. Stream flow is 10 x 10\deg L/d. A treated sewage effluent with BOD 76 mg/L is discharged into the stream at a rate of 4 x 106 L/d. The DO of the sewage effluent is 1.5 mg/L. Assume the deoxygenation and reaeration constants are 0.2 d-l and 0.5 d-' respectively and the saturated DO level is 9 mg/L, determine the minimum DO level in the stream. If stream velocity is 0.015 m/s, where does the minimum DO occur?
