Effects Of Flooding On Amassoma Flood Plain Sediments Niger Delta, Nigeria
Journal Title: Applied Science Reports - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The Effects of Flood on Amassoma Flood Plain Sediments Niger Delta, Nigeria was studied for a period of six months (November – December, 2012 and January, 2013 for the dry season and April, May and June; 2013 for the Wet season) and compared with previous results obtained in the study area. Water Absorbency, Bulk Density, Silt and Clay were higher after the flood than before flooding. Particle Density, Porosity and Sand were higher before flooding. Textual class was sand before flooding and silt after flooding. There was significant difference between means of sediment particle size before and after flooding. However there was no significant difference between sampling stations. All Sediment Physical and chemical characteristics values were higher after flooding than before flooding. There was significant difference in mean Sediment Physical and chemical characteristics values before and after flooding. pH; Conductivity; Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature values were higher than values after flooding than before flooding. Salinity and Temperature values were lower after flooding than after flooding.
