Oxygen deficit of a polluted river stream
The oxygen deficit is the difference between actual D.O and
saturation D.O at that time and any point of time. Oxygen deficit must
be NIL and it can be found by oxygen sag curve of that particular river
stream.

Dilution in lakes
• Disposing effluents in lakes is more harmful than in rivers. Phosphorous is the
prime lake pollutant followed by oxygen demanding wastes and toxic ones.
