Question: 1 In the winter, a stream flows at 10 m³/s and receives the discharge from a pipe that contains road runoff. The pipe has a flow of 5 m/s. The stream's chloride concentration just upstream of the pipe's discharge is 12 mg/L, and the runoff pipe's discharge has a chloride concentration of 40(mg/L. Chloride is a conservative substance. (a) Does wintertime salt usage on the road elevate the downstream chloride concentration above 20 mg/L? (5) (b) What is the maximum daily mass of chloride that can be discharged through the road runoff pipe without exceeding the water quality standard? (10 Points)
