Benthal-sludge deposits utilize the oxygen available in the overriding waters, (contacting the sludge deposits) for their bacterial decomposition. The rate of benthal decomposition depends on the availability of decomoposable material and the amount of oxygen being supplied. This paper provides a simple relationship of benthal oxygen demand with time. The rate of benthal degradation decreased with increase in the influent water flow rate.
