Predictive Model to Monitor the Rate of Dissolved Nitrogen Influenced by Void Ratio in Silty and Gravel Bed Formation in Coastal Area of Warri Delta State of Nigeria

Abstract


This paper evaluated the rate of dissolved nitrogen in silty and gravel soil formation, the study is to monitor the rate of dissolved nitrogen at different strata to phreatic bed, homogeneous formation were observed to have deposit in the study location, organic soil were insignificant since the formation deposited slight quantity, the predominant formation is homogeneous silty and grave soil strata, the void ratio deposition were at high rate in various formation, the reflection of void ratio were experienced on the level of its decreasing rate of dissolved nitrogen to phreatic beds. To monitor the deposition of dissolved nitrogen, modeling and simulation were applied, the developed model expressed simulation values that were compared with experimental values, and both parameters express faviourable fits validating the developed model. This concept will be applied by the experts as a useful mechanism to monitor and evaluated dissolved nitrogen in phreatic beds.
