A river has a flow of $1000$ million litres per day (MLD), $BOD_5$ of $5\:mg/litre$ and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) level of $8\:mg/litre$ before receiving the wastewater discharge at a location. For the existing environmental conditions, the saturation ... complete mixing of wastewater and river water, the immediate DO deficit (in $mg/litre$ round off to two decimal places), is ______.

An effluent at a flow rate of $2670 \: m^3/d$ from a sewage treatment plant is to be disinfected. The laboratory data of disinfection studies with a chlorine dosage of $15$ mg/l yield the model $N_t=N_oe^{-0.145t}$ where $N_t=$ number of micro-organisms surviving ... (at $t=0$). The volume of disinfection unit (in $m^3$) required to achieve a $98\%$ kill micro-organisms is __________
