17) Silk’s Lake has a surface area of 70.8 ha. For the month
of April, the inflow was 1.5 m3/s. The dam regulated the
outflow from Silk’s Lake to be 1.25 m3/s. If the
precipitation recorded for the month was 7.62 cm and
the storage volume increased by an estimated 650,000
m3, what is estimated evaporation? Assume that no
water infiltrates out of the bottom of Silk’s Lake and
that the density of water is constant.
A. 0.076 m (120-121)
B. 0.1 m
C. 0.005 m
D. 0.05 m
18) A water has an alkalinity of 200 mg/L as CaCO3. The Ca2+
concentration is 160 mg/L as the ion, and the Mg2+
concentration is 40 mg/L as the ion. The pH is 8.1. Find
the total hardness.
A. 650 mg/L
B. 367 mg/L
C. 56 mg/L
D. 567 m/L (281-282)
19) A coagulation treatment plant with a flow of 0.5 m3/s is
dosing alum at 23.0 mg/L. No other chemicals are being
added. The raw-water suspended-solids concentration
is 37.0 mg/L. The effluent suspended-solids
concentration is measured at 12.0 mg/L. The sludge
solids content is 1.00 percent and the specific gravity of
the sludge solids is 3.01. What volume of sludge must
be disposed each day?
A. 150 m3/d (354-355)
B. 200 m3/d
C. 100 m3/d
D. 50 m3/d
20) The town of X discharges 17,360 m3/d of treated
wastewater into the Y Creek. The treated wastewater
has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and a k of 0.12/d at 20 degrees
Celsius. Y Creek has a flow rate of 0.43 m3/s and an
ultimate BOD of 5.0 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5
mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L. The
stream temperature is 10 degrees Celsius and the
wastewater temperature is 10 degrees Celsius.
Computer the DO.
A. 10 mg/L
B. 8.25 mg/L
C. 77.12 mg/L
D. 4.75 mg/L (414-415)
