Notes

Equations and graphs were shown demonstrating the relation of the enlarged saprobic index S to mean values of BOD5. Two sets of constants had to be calculated, as there is an important break on the line dividing the aerobic and anaerobic environment. This break occurs near BOD5=50 mg l-1 and S=4.5.
