Question: You are tasked with evaluating a lagoon system with a volume of 3 4 5 , 6 0 0 m 3 to treat the stormwater

You are tasked with evaluating a lagoon system with a volume of 345,600m3 to treat the stormwater runoff from an agricultural area. You measure that the concentration of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD, presenting biodegradable materials) in the runoff is 30mgL. The BOD will degrade in the lagoon over time at a reaction rate constant of 0.10? day. The effluent BOD concentration leaving the lagoon needs to be less than 10mgL to meet local regulations. Determine the maximum runoff flow rate the lagoon can handle.
