Solve any one question from Q2(b) & Q2(c)

2 (b) The BOD5 of a waste has been measured as 460 mg/lit. K=0.23/day (base e), what is the ultimate BODu of the waste. What proportion of the BODu would remain unoxidized after 20 days?(7 marks) 2 (c) A city discharges 130 cusecs of sewage into a river whose minimum rate of flow is 2000 cusecs during its lean days with velocity of 0.5 m/sec.
