a. 200 mL of water sample was collected from a river. 5 mL of the river water diluted to 1 L. A BOD bottle which is 300 mL is filled with this water and aerated. The dissolved oxygen content was 7.8 mg/L initially. After 5 days, the dissolved oxygen content had dropped to 4.8 mg/L. What is BOD5 of this sample?

b. Hydraulic conductivity of soil is measured as 2 x 10-2 cm/sec. After an accident, a truck carrying dissolved salt solution releases its contents to surface. The distance between the spill and a groundwater well is 1600 meter. The groundwater elevation at the spill location is 5.5 meter and well location is 5.3 meters. Porosity of soil is 0.4. Darcy velocity is most nearly (cm/day):

10 ml of waste water is diluted to 1 liter, aerated and sealed. The initial dissolved oxygen level of the sample was 50mg/l. The dissolved oxygen level after 5 days and 20 days were 40 mg/l and 28 mg/l. Estimate the rate constant associated with the biological decomposition of the waste.

You are tasked with conducting BOD studies for a waste treatment facility and its discharge to a nearby river. You are told that the facility removes 93% of the BOD in total with a discharge rate of 1.0 m3 /s. you sample the receiving water and find that it has a 0.5 mg/L deficit from saturation concentration (saturation is at 9.7 mg/L) and a BOD5 content of 10 mg/L. The river flows at a speed of 0.25 m/s and has...

An accidental spill results in a total volume Vo = 100 gallons of a toxic liquid chemical entering the upper portion of an unconfined aquifer. The aquifer has a porosity η = 0.25 and a hydraulic conductivity K = 10-3 m/s. The density of the liquid chemical is € ρℓ = 1200 kg/m3 and sorption to solids is negligible. Groundwater samples show that the chemical quickly dissolved in the groundwater, forming a "blob" with a total volume (soil and porewater)...
