Description
Introduction:
• Water Pollutants and Their Sources
• Water Pollution in Rivers
– Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
– Effect of Oxygen-Demanding Wastes on Rivers
– Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
Water Pollution in Rivers:
– Graphical Determination of BOD Constants
– Laboratory Measurement of BOD
– DO Sag Curve
– Effects of Nutrients on Water Quality in Rivers
- Identify water pollutants and their sources;
- Define TMDL, BOD, & COD;
- Model BOD and calculate BOD5 and BODu
- Determine BOD rate constants graphically;
- Develop DO Sag Curve (Model); and
- Explain the effects of nutrients on water quality in rivers.
