The receiving river in the spring months (with a temperature of about 10-15 °C) has no initial deficit in the outfall region of partially treated sewage with BODL of 18 mg/L and a decay coefficient of 0.21. Please locate the downstream river section where the maximum DO sag might occur. Will the water quality result in potential negative impacts on aquatic organisms in the river? Assuming that the re-aeration coefficient is 0.31 per day and the average water velocity is 0.4 m/s.
