1. The parameter that operators of a waste water treatment plant use for the water is BOD, Biological Oxygen Demand. incoming waters have chemicals, waste, debri that, if left untreated, will deplete the oxygen in rivers and streams that it comes in contact with. by treating the wastewater, they remove the BOD and restore the chemical and biological balance. a poorly operated treatment plant will allow unprocessed wastewater to enter LISound and there it will deplete the oxygen.
