Abstract
The research presented is a comparative evaluation applying finite element method (FEM) and control system of parameter distribution (CSPD) for predicting aluminum, potassium, arsenic, lead and manganese parameter of Tema Town in Sari-Toru, L.G.A of Rivers State, the simulation was carried out from distance 0-1.8km. The finite element method and control system of parameter distribution method revealed that as parameters dispersed from point zero distance, the concentrations is been reduced as results of soil filtration under homogenous porosity distribution processes within the aquiferous environment, both method developed a reliable order of migration of Al,K,As,Pb and Mn, this conditions established indicates the purpose of investigation and monitoring of water quality parameters within water bearing deposition of Tema Town, both models proof a reasonable agreement as shown from the study. The investigation revealed that groundwater of Tema Town water parameters assessed are within World Health Organizational standard limit in terms of Al,K,As,Pb and Mn.
