Assigmentforchapter 1

This document provides instructions for taking water samples from a river to monitor water quality after wastewater is discharged. It asks the reader to: 1) Calculate the dissolved oxygen (DO) level and biological oxygen demand after a town's treated wastewater mixes with creek water. 2) Determine the initial deficit in the creek caused by the wastewater mixing. 3) Calculate the deoxygenation rate constant for the reach of creek below the wastewater discharge point. 4) Determine the DO concentration 5km downstream and the critical DO level and distance it occurs.

4 Water Sampling (River Monitoring)

Try this!!
1. The town of State College discharges 17,630m3/d of treated wastewater into
the Bald Eagle Creek. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and a k
of 0.12d-1 at 20C. Bald Eagle creek has a flow rate of 0.43 m3/s and an
ultimate BOD of 5.0 mg/L. the DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the
wastewater is 1.0 mg/L. the stream temperature is 10C and the wastewater
temperature is 10C. Compute the DO and initial ultimate BOD after mixing.
2. Calculate the initial deficit of the Bald Eagle Creek after mixing with the
wastewater from the town of State College. The stream temperature is 10C
and the wastewater temperature is 10C.
3. Determine the deoxygenation rate constant for the reach of Bald Eagle Creek
below the wastewater outfall (discharge pipe). The average speed of the
stream flow in the creek is 0.03 m/s. the depth is 5.0 m and the bed-activity
coefficient is 0.35.
4. Determine the DO concentration at a point 5km downstream from the State
College discharge into the Bald Eagle Creek. Also determine the critical DO
and the distance downstream at which it occurs.
