Artificial Neural Network Model to Predict Reservoir Storage
Abstract: The rapid growth in population increases water demand thus resulting in scarcity of water which is due to improper management rather than lack of resources. Reservoir is the most important source for surface water. So, reservoir storage plays a crucial role in efficient reservoir management. Artificial neural network (ANN) is capable of simulating reservoir storage capacity. So, in present work cascade forward back propagation and feed forward back propagation network …

Estimation and Comparison of Depth of Scouring Around Straight Partially Submerged Impermeable Groynes Aligned at Different Angles
Abstract: Groynes are the part of river training structures which are constructed to reduce the sediment load, protection of the banks from erosion and deflect the flow of river in a determined direction to avoid the meandering of the rivers. While protecting the banks of river from erosion, the foundation of the groynes experience severe scouring that leads to the structural collapse of the groynes which may results in loss of …

Experimental Study on Scour Around T-Head Groynes in Open Channel
Abstract: Groynes are the river training structures which are used extensively in anti-erosion activities. An experimental investigation of scouring around the groynes in an open channel is presented in this paper and an attempt to analyze the behavior of T-shaped groynes in terms of its applicability in alluvial channels was made. Tests were conducted by varying the symmetry of flange in three different manners (symmetric, larger flange in upstream and downstream …

Monitoring of Methanobacterium Migration Rate on Penetrating in Unconfined Bed in Waste Dump Site of Port Harcourt Applying Predictive Models
Abstract: This paper monitors the deposition of Methanobacterium in penetrating unconfined bed, the soil formation monitored are the lateritic and silty formation in the study location, high concentration was expected due the environment were waste are dump on regular interval, this implies that contaminant of high quantity will definitely deposit in these formation., the system developed considered parameters that can always relate to other variables that may not be at the …

Mathematical Models and Forecast of Effect of Flow Rate on Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids Within Water Bearing Aquifer
Abstract: The aim of study is to develop mathematical models to predict turbidity and total suspended solids upon the influences of recharge and flow rate as a functional parameter in distribution interaction of water parameters within the water bearing aquifer taking a main well A as dispersing point to other wells. Predictive models have been generated to account for the effect of flow rate on turbidity and total suspended solids within …

Predicting the Spread of Nitrosomonas on Low Deposited Porosity and Void Ratio in Coarse Formation of Degema Coastal Location
Abstract: This paper discus the prediction of Nitrosomonas deposited in low porosity and void ratio in coarse formation, the deposition of Nitrosomonas express the behavior reflecting from the influential variables that were observed to pressure the deposition of Nitrosomonas in coarse deposited formation. Several conditions on the migration process were considered in the derived solution, this expression from the derived solution shows how the system in other ways could developed accumulation …
