Dispersion of Enterococcus faecalis was monitor in the study environment based on their heterogeneity in the creek, this shows serious concern base on rate of concentration from microbial analysis carried in the creek, the study determined the predominant factors that developed the heterogeneous dispersion in the transport of Enterococcus faecalis in the study area, this condition generated exponential phase based on the effect of the dispersion through the heterogeneous velocities of the creek, this expression implies that the migration and other causes of the contaminant deposition are influenced by these factors, the growth rate from exponential phase including high to low concentration are determined based on this predominant influential parameters, the derived modeling system expressed the behaviour of the microbes, this was carried outby simulating the behaviour of these parameters to determined their various effect on the transport of Enterococcus faecalis in the creek. The concentration ranged from 0.030278489-1.316392604, 0.034087772- 0.922131816, 0.024755029-0.39245102, 0.020945746-0.203891513, 0.024564565-0.150752015, 0.040754017-0.150752015, 0.03123081-0.23763553, 0.040754017- 0.287886202. The migration process based on different level of concentration in the creek were thoroughly observed, the predictive were compared with experimental data, and both parameters expressed best fits correlation, the study has developed high level of its significant through these parameters influence, it has also identifies the variations of other substance through the physiochemical analysis that could have increase the growth rate despite the dispersion influence through velocities of flow in the creek.
