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

Assessment bioavailability of selected heavy metal concentration and biological control parameter changes in two soils (case study: polluted and non-polluted sites in Iran)
Heavy metal pollution of soil is a serious concern, because such metals have toxicological importance in ecosystems, animal and human health. Metal toxicity depends on the chemical forms in which they exist. The aim of t...
Efficiency comparison of ESAs and IMDPA models in evaluation and mapping of desertification status (a case study in Boushehr Province, SW Iran)
Desertification is the consequence of processes in which climate change and human activities are the most effective factors in arid and semi-arid regions, especially in a major part of Iran. The present study aims to qua...
