Question

Dumping sewage into the lake ___ the BOD of the water in the lake.

Open in App
Solution

Since the sewage is rich in organic nutrients, the microorganism will grow rapidly in the lake and put a strain on the availability of dissolved oxygen in the water. This in turn increases the BOD of the water.
