Modelling the Dynamics of a Hypereutrophication Process in Ruguma Ponds in Rumuosi-Akpor, Nigeria
In this work, Experimental results were monitored for a period of eight months on certain
variables parameter in great Ruguma eutrophication site with Fugro International Laboratory to
observe the profiles of the simultaneous variations of these parameters with time. Some
parameters show the approach or eminence of hypereutrophication. Cox et al (2009) model for
recovering from hypereutrophication was modified to accommodate phosphate concentration
variation in the great Ruguma hypereutrophication. Numerical values of constraints, initial and
boundary conditions were culled in from the works of Cox et al (2009) in solving the system of
ODEs modified.From the analysis made on the results obtained, the Great Ruguma Seasonal
Ponds may be said to be recovering from hypereutrophication.The findings of this work can be
applied in any trophic study especially when it is entering or recovering from
hypereutrophication
