Modeling and simulation of entric -virus transport in deltaic environment rivers state of Nigeria
Keywords:
Modeling, Entric-virus transport, EnvironmentAbstract
Modeling and simulation of entric-virus transport in deltaic environment has been evaluated. High degree of concentration of entric-virus in soil and water is a serious threat to human livelihood, the model were develop to monitor the rate of concentration at various time and depth, in other to see their behaviors at various time, the rate of degradation where found in some depth and days, it can be attributed to degradation of substrate and depth deposition of inhibitors, finally the variation of climatic condition were also found to have influence the degradation of the virus in some depth and days. This study is imperative because it will help practicing engine to beware of areas were this species of microbes are deposited it is recommended that there should be construction of treatment plant for borehole location that this type of microbe are found to deposit high concentration.
