Phosphorus as one of the microelement was observed to predominantly deposit in the study environment, this were experienced from physiochemical investigation carried out in the stream, the examination observed the predominant deposition of increased phosphorus in different station point of discharge, this implies that there are some significant factors causing such increase of the contaminant in the stream, the evaluation generated other parameters that could influenced the exponential state of the contaminant, such condition call for serious concern, thus thorough examination of these parameters that affect the growth rate of phosphorus in the stream, the transport of this microelement experienced increase in all the figures based on the points source of discharge monitored, derived model were applied to monitor the behaviour of phosphorus in the stream, this were carried out through model and simulation, the system monitored other influential parameters that pressured the growth rate of the contaminant at different point source, gradual growth rate to the optimum level were experienced based on the continuity process of phosphorus substance discharged in the stream, the study also observed other effect from phosphorus deposition at high rate in the stream, the substance were observed in the stream to increase rapid rate of microbes in the stream, an increase of Eutrophication in the stream expressed high rate of phosphorus in the environment, there various rates of concentration ranged from 0.000352718-0.437434594,0.00029158-0.361612598,0.00028183-0.331253401, 0.000263182- 0.316679675, 0.000235172-0.293114139, 0.000270628- 0.347346913, the derived simulation values were compared with experimental data, and both parameters developed best fits correlation, the study is imperative because it has monitored various rate of velocity that influenced dispersion of phosphorus substance in the stream, it has also expressed the rate of homogeneous velocity of flows as it has been through evaluated.
