• A wastewater treatment plant disposes of its effluent in a surface
stream. Characteristics of the stream and effluent are shown
below.

(a) What will be the dissolved oxygen conc. in the stream after 2
days? (b) What will be the lowest dissolved oxygen concentration as
a result of the waste discharge?
