The researchers tried to estimate the amount of oxygen needed to break down waste in a dairy plant's wastewater. They looked at different types of pollution in the water, like chemicals and solids. By using a formula with these pollution measurements, they could predict the oxygen demand with good accuracy. This helps in managing the waste disposal system effectively.
