A certain district of a city has a projected population of 50000 residing over a area of 40Ha. Find the design of discharge for the sewer line, for the following data:
i) Rate of water supply = 200 lped ii) Average impermeability factor for the area = 0.3 iii) Time of concentration = 50 minutes. The sewer line is to be designed for a flow equivalent to the WWF plus twice the DWF. Take sewage generated as equal to 75% of water supplied. Use the formula: \[ R_i = \dfrac {25.4a} {t+b} . \] Comment on the result.

A 600mm diameter sewer is required to flow at 0.4 depth on a grade ensuring a degree of self cleansing equivalent to that obtained at full depth at a velocity of 850mm/s. Find the required grade, associated velocities and rates of discharge at full depth and 0.4 depth. Take n=0.015 for all depth of flow \[ \left \{ Given : \ \dfrac {a} {A} = 0.374 : \ \ \dfrac {r} {R} = 0.857 \right \} .\]

100m3/s of a city sewage is discharged in a river is fully saturated with oxygen and flows at a minimum rate of 1250 m3/s, with a minimum velocity of 0.15 m/s. If the 5-day BOD of the sewage is 260 mg/lt, find where the critical DO will occur in the river. Take KD=0.11 d-, f=4.0. Also ultimate BOD is 125% of 5-d BOD of the mixture of sewage and river water. DO saturated for river water = 9.17 mg/lt.
