A town requiring 2.0 m3/s of drinking water has two sources, a local well with 15 g/m3 nitrate (as N) and a distant reservoir with 5 g/m3 nitrate (as N). What flow rates of well and reservoir water are needed to meet the EPA drinking water standard and minimize the use of more expensive reservoir water

Explanation:

Drinking water requirement in town 2.0 m^3/s of water per second

nitrate in local well  nitrate per 15 [tex]\mathrm{m}^{3}[/tex] of water

nitrate in distant reservoir [tex]=5 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}[/tex]

Let the flow rate of well

flow rate of reservoir [tex]=y m^{3} / s[/tex]

Drinking water requirement is [tex]45 \mathrm{ppm}[/tex] or [tex]45 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}[/tex]

therefore, the total flow of drinking water
