Abstract: This research work was carried out to monitor the rate of dispersion and porosity influences on Flexibacter in the study location. The study was to monitor the behaviour of the contaminant under the pressure from fluctuation of porosity reflecting on dispersion rate in fine and silty sand formation. Variation of Flexibacter were expressed in various condition through theoretical values from the simulation, the developed model generated concentration from various phase of the transport system reflecting variation pressure from porosity mostly in silty formation, such condition were observed from the level of concentration in various phase from the simulation values, application of mathematical modelling method were to ensure that the behaviour of the microbes are thoroughly captured in the study location, experimental values were compared with the theoretical values for model validation, the study is imperative because experts will definitely examined the effect from fluctuated porosity reflecting on dispersion on the concentration of Flexibacter in the study location.

Abstract: The study area also known as tin city is popular for its historic tin mining activity which left behind several heaps of mine spoil (waste) and abandoned mine ponds which today are used to meet domestic water needs. This study is carried out with a view to determining the level of heavy metal contamination of the mine ponds and ground water of the study area. Twenty one water samples were systematically collected from mine ponds and ground water of the study area including the GPS reading of every point were samples are collected. Concentration of the heavy metals lead, zinc, copper, iron and manganese were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy(ICP OES), while the level of contamination was determined using the contamination factor(CF). The results revealed low contamination (CF<1) for most of the study area (93.33%), moderate contamination (1≤CF<3) for 4.76% of the area with respect to Fe, Pb, and Zinc, and considerable contamination (3≤CF<6) for 1.9% of the area with respect to Pb.
