Predictive model to monitor the transport of E. coli in homogeneous aquifers in port harcourt Niger delta of Nigeria

Predictive model to monitor the transportation of E. coli in homogenous aquifer has been evaluated. The model where generated from a mathematical expression derived from E. coli experiment. Least square method where apply to resolve the equations, theoretical value where generated from the mathematical equation, this values were compared with other experimental values from o different locations, both parameters expressed a valuable fit. The expression from both parameters shows that the concentration develop a rapid increase at three meters, were we have lateritic soil, while the lowest concentration where deposited at thirty meters where we have homogenous fine and coarse sand, this expression displayed a physical process of concentration influenced by variation of distance, which is from high to low concentration. This study is imperative because the model has absolutely defined the behavior of E. coli with respect to change in concentration and depths, formation characteristic like deltaic nature of the soil including high rate of porosity has been confirmed to influence the E. coli transport to ground water aquifers. The study expressed high concentration of E. coli at thirty meters and it deposited 0.51mg/l, comparing to world health organization of zero deposit of E. coli concentration on water implies that ground water at those depths are not good for human consumption, therefore it is recommended that where there is regeneration of contaminant, water treatment plant should be applied in ground water design at shallow aquifers.
