Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a lake, you measure an initial DO of 7.5 mg/L and after 5 days, the DO is 3.0 mg/L. Determine the BOD. If this lake receives a pollution warning above 4 mg/L, should the lake be considered polluted?

💡 Hint: Calculate the difference in DO and compare with the pollution threshold.

Question 2

If a BOD analysis indicates very low oxygen depletion despite significant organic loading, discuss the potential reasons and suggest corrective actions.

💡 Hint: Think about factors affecting microbial action in BOD tests.
