5252 unread replies.5252 replies.

Suppose there are three rivers (River A, River B, and River C) that have the same characteristics (e.g., flow rate, DO_sat). Each river receives the effluent of wastewater from a treatment plant, and the critical point is determined to be the following:

For River A, the critical point is 20 km from the discharge point.

For River B, the critical point is 22 km from the discharge point.

For River C, the critical point is 24 km from the discharge point.

Which river receives effluent that is the most treated? Justify your answer with information from the Interactive Lessons and/or textbook (cite your source(s)).
