Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a lake with a 1000L capacity, where water evaporates at 10L/day and receives an inflow of 5L/day with a pollutant concentration of 1mg/L, calculate the concentration after one day.

💡 Hint: Calculate the total pollutants added and lost through evaporation.

Question 2

Critically analyze a scenario where a box model fails to predict pollutant transport in a river with tributary contributions and variable flow rates, providing examples.

💡 Hint: Think about external inputs that vary throughout different seasons.
