PREDICTING NUTRIENT DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS IN SOME COASTAL LAGOONS IN GHANA USING MIKE 3 MODEL

ABSTRACT The study assesses the levels of phosphate, nitrate and ammonia in water and sediments from the Mukwe, Sakumono II, Gao and Laloi lagoons situated within the central coast of Ghana alongside other physicochemical parameters (pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Total Dissolved Solids and Temperature). Data collected over a six-month period was used in calibrating and predicting nutrient concentrations in the Sakumono II and Gao lagoons using the MIKE 3 model. High pH measurements beyond USEPA and ...
