Abstract

The purpose of this study is to monitor the behaviour of legionella contaminant in stream, the rate of concentration at different monitoring station developed various rate of effect on the water bodies, heterogeneous velocity of flow in the stream was observed as the major sourced of change in concentration at different stations, the expression from the system developed the derived solution to evaluated the behaviour of the contaminant at different station thus determined their rate transport process in the stream, the study has express the rate of transport factors that determined various rate of concentration at different locations, high to low concentration were observed in the study, this implies that dispersion on every point of discharge developed high percent of positive impact in the transport process, change of concentration with respect to distanced has high level of predominant role on the migration process of legionella in the stream. Reaction from diffusion in water bodies played some level significant impact on the stream, this parameters from the simulation model express their various rate of impact in the system, the generated simulation values meet high level correlation from the two figures and tables, the study has express the significant role of heterogeneous velocity in the deposition and migration process of legionella in streams.
