Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A river receives wastewater from a factory at a constant rate. If the concentration of pollutants in the outflow is expected to exceed environmental standards due to accumulation, how would you apply a box model to recommend actions?

💡 Hint: Think about what elements need to be accounted for in each box.

Question 2

You are tasked with designing a box model for a lake undergoing seasonal changes in evaporation rates. Describe the parameters you would include and how they would affect the pollutant concentration.

💡 Hint: Consider how seasonal weather impacts evaporation and inflow.
