Development of Model for the Prediction of Ions Concentration in Soil Water
Journal Title: Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies - Year 2005, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper proposes a mathematical model for the prediction of different ion concentration in soil water used for irrigational purposes in Niger State of Nigeria. The various ions considered are sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), nitrogen in form of nitrate (NO3-), and phosphorus in form of phosphate (PO43-). The model was simulated for different concentration readings using different adsorption fractions. The results obtained compared favourably with that of the experimental, though with slight variations which were attributed to some of the basic assumptions used during the process of model development.
