Figure 12.5 Water Budget ATMOSPHERE Contains 12,600 km 3 of water Evaporation 271 km 3 /day About 1/4 of total global precipitation falls on land Precipitation 989 km 3 /day Most water flux occurs between the oceans and the atmosphere 888 km 3 /day Precipitation OCEANS Contain 1,230,000,000 km3 of water 170 km 3 /day Most of the rain that falls on land evaporates back to the atmosphere from land surfaces and plant leaves (evapotranspiration). LAND Streams, lakes, and groundwater contain 4,124,200 km3 of water 101 km 3 /day Runoff and groundwater

BOD-BIOLOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND EXPRESSED IN mgO 2 per liter of H 2 O Amount of oxygen needed to gobble up organic chemical Sewage entering a sewage plants has a BOD of 295mgO2/l-influent Sewage leaving a sewage plant should have a BOD of 5mgO2/liter-effluent

SEWAGE TREATMENT PRIMARY TREATMENT-SETTLING OUT HEAVY ITEMS SECONDARY TREATMENT a. activated sludge b. trickling filter c. oxidation ponds
