Modeling of pheratic aquifers on E, coli transport influenced by preconsolidation and compressibility of soil

Abstract

The rates of pollution on soil are the major problem of ground water contamination in the study area. A study to determine the influence from preconsolidation and compressibility on E.coli transport has been carried out. This is to determine the rate of influence on E.coli transport in pheratic aquifers, mathematical model were developed to monitor the influence on the preconsolidation and compressibility of soil on microbial transports, experimental analysis were also carried out through a standard column experimental analysis, ten samples were collected in a drilling site at interval of three metres each for several location, the effluent discharge from the lower end of the column were collected and subjected to a thorough analysis, the theoretical values were compared with experimental values, and both values compared faviourably well. This study has explained the transport of E.coli base on the level of concentration generate from aquiferious zone under the influence of preconsolidation and soil compressibility. The study has reveal the variation of concentration of E.coli on the influence of soil preconsolidation and it compressibility, therefore exploration of ground water should be design with its criteria's to prevent the wild spread of water pollution emanating from the E.coli transport in the study areas, because the preconsolidation and compressibility of soil were found to be insignificant on the transport of the microbes, the preconsolidation and its rate of compressibility could not reduce the transport of E.coli on a natural state.

Geochemical Characteristics of Tropical Salt Licks in Segaliud Lokan Forest Reserve, Sandakan, Sabah Malaysia

“…The presence of seasonal small streams and water seepage cutting through the lick promotes a high percentage of moisture content, apart from soil texture parameter influence. Fine-textured soils have higher water retention ability compared to coarse-textured soils (Tufaila et al, 2016) because fine-textured soils have more pore space (Zacharias & Wessolek, 2007;Eluozo, 2013;Mairghany et al, 2019) and an absorptive surface, thus having better water holding capacity (Nurhayati, 1986;Marakkala et al, 2018). The high percentage of moisture content in SL50, SL56, and SL59 is presumably affecting the high organic content in the licks.…”
