Calibrating the velocity of solute on E. coli transport in Pheratic aquifers in port Harcourt, rivers state of Nigeria.
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Environmental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Calibrating the velocity of solute transport in phreatic aquifers has been assessed, the solute velocity of transport established various rate of velocity at different depth in the study area. The study confirm the influence of the flow paths as one of the causes of variation in solute velocity of flow, few area were examined that confirms the influence of stratification of the soil formation, this has played some role on the rate of velocity flow at different depth, formation characteristics like porosity where also observed to have recorded some influence in the stratification of silty and fine sand where the an optimum level where recorded, the lower rate of velocity are where lateritic soil are predominant, few location experience an average mix of lateritic and silty formation as observed in average velocity of those depths. The study is imperative because it has assessed the rate of velocity of solute flow at different formation, this concept will determine the time of solute migration in the study area
