The pipe has a flow of 5 m3s the streams chloride


In Winter, a stream flows at 10 m3/s and receives discharge from a pipe that contains road runoff. The pipe has a flow of 5 m3/s. The stream's chloride concentration just upstream of the pipe's dischage 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?
b) What is the maximum daily mass of chloride (metric tons/day) that can be discharged through the road runoff pipe without exceeding the water quality standard?
