This paper evaluates pressures of flow influences on Methylomonas observed through formation characteristic to penetrating unconfined bed. The study was able to investigate change in Methylomonas concentration with respect to time and depth at shallow phreatic zone. These conditions imply that these microbes are found to migrate at every stratum within short period of time in the coastal location. Thus at shallow depth, the rate of migration were influenced by high degree of porous formation deposited in the study area. Such condition has established fast migration with high concentration of Methylomonas in the study location. These conditions were experienced on physical process, while on ground water exploration; it resulted to abortive well due to pollution from deposition of Methylomonas. Monitoring and evaluation were the best option in order to determine the transport process and rate of concentration. Mathematical modeling methods were found appropriate thus; it was applied by developing the model and simulating it. Theoretical values were generated and compared with other measured value from column experiment. Both values developed favuorable fits to validate the model. The study is imperative because the rate of migration including stratum that deposits highest level of Methylomonas concentration has been observed. Experts will definitely apply these conceptual applications to monitor the migration rate of Methylomonas in the study location.
