Determination Of Water Intake Characteristics Of Soils In Ohuhu In Umuahia North Local Government Area, Abia State.
ABSTRACT
In this project
titled "Determination of Water Intake Characteristics of Soils in Ohuhu in
Umuahia North L.G.A", the inverse auger hole method will used to collect
soil from the study area and the cylinder infiltrometer was used to run
infiltration test. The particle size analysis of soil, intake time, intake
depth, accumulated time, moisture content, bulk density, particle density and
porosity measurement of the soil were determined as described by Soil Testing
for Engineers.S.mitral:j.p Shukla Published by; Khanna publishers India,
(2008). The average values for moisture content, infiltration rate, bulk
density and particle density for the five locations are 13.24%, 16.8mm/hr,
1.19g/cm3and 2.36 respectively. From the graphs plotted in the appendix, the
regression line equation for all the locations was derived. For Ekeogba, the
regression line equation is I=1.8T°7809, for Nkwuegwu; I=2.4T' ', for Umuawa;
I2.1T' 4792, for Okaiga; I=2.OT"°838, and for Uhuokwo; I=2.2T"°941.
With the derived equations from all locations, the regression line equation can
easily be derived. For example, assuming the time for basic infiltration rate
of soils in Ekeogba is 2hrs, from the regression line equation (IKT);
1=2.4(120) .2611 thereby making the aim and objectives of the project achieved.
It is recommended that the regression line equations obtained for Ohuhu should
be used to predict intake rates, intake depths and intake time during water
application process.
