A river flows at \(200\,000\ \text{L min}^{-1}\) with a nitrate concentration of \(2\ \text{mg L}^{-1}\). An industrial plant discharges effluent at \(20\,000\ \text{L min}^{-1}\) containing nitrate at \(50\ \text{mg L}^{-1}\). The combined water enters a denitrification tank where \(80\%\) of the nitrate is removed. After the tank, \(100\,000\ \text{L min}^{-1}\) of clean water is added. Calculate the nitrate concentration (in \(\text{mg L}^{-1}\)) in the water downstream of the dilution point.
