ABSTRACT
The curve obtained when the concentration of dissolved oxygen in a river into which sewage or some other
pollutant has been discharged is plotted against the distance downstream from the sewage outlet (see
graph). Samples of water are taken at areas upstream and downstream from the sewage outlet. DISSOLVED
OXYGEN DEFICIT :- Difference Between Dissolved Oxygen Concentration At Saturation And The Actual Instantaneous
Dissolved Oxygen Concentration At Time D (Deficit) = Saturated DO – Actual DO Saturated DO At 0 degree , the DO is
14.6 mg/L. At 20 degree, the DO is 9.17 mg/L. At 30 degree, the DO is 7.63 mg/L. So we can see that, with the increase in
The Streeter-Phelps Equation & The Oxygen-Sag Analysis Curve Method. It is used in the of water pollution as a water quality modelling tool.
The model describes how dissolved oxygen (DO) decreases in a river or stream along a certain distance by degradation of biological oxygen
demand (BOD). The equation was derived by H. W. Streeter, a sanitary engineer, and Earle Phelps , a consultant for the US HEALTH SERVICE,
in 1925, based on field data from the Ohio River The equation is also known as the DO sag equation. TheThe Streeter–Phelps equation determines
the relation between the DO concentration and the BOD over time and is a solution to the linear first order differential equation. ThisThis differential
equation states that the total change in oxygen deficit (D) is equal to the difference between the two rates of deoxygenation and reaeration at any time.The
Streeter–Phelps equation, assuming a plug-flow stream at steady state.DO content is one of the most widely used indicators of overall ecological health of a
body of water. Deoxygenation :- Deoxygenation is a chemical reaction involving the removal of oxygen atoms from a molecule. The term also refers to the
removal molecular oxygen (O ) from gases and solvents, a step in air-free technique and gas purifiers. Rate of reoxygenation increases at DO deficit
