SAMPLING DATA FOR BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND

The dissolved oxygen (DO) data at three (3) different samplings location in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) are
tabulated in Table 1.0. The total volume of the BOD bottle is 300 ml and average initial blank and final blank are 7.7 mg/L
and 7.6 mg/L respectively. Prepare a BOD report with result analysis, discussion and justification.
