GEOELECTRICAL INVESTIGATION OF GROUNDWATER POTENTIAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE BLOCK AT PERMANENT SITE, FEDERAL UNIVERSITY DUTSIN-MA, KATSINA STATE, NIGERIA
Abstract A geophysical survey for groundwater resources was carried out in the administrative block of Federal University Dutsin-Ma, permanent site. This was successfully done by employing the electrical resistivity method to investigate the water table variations, the depth to basement, thickness of weathered basement, thickness of aquifer and area suitable for boreholes establishment within the areas covered wit...
Geophysical Investigation of the Causes of Borehole Failure in the Crystaline Basement Complex: A Case Study of Kaura Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria
Abstract Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) using Schlumberger array were carried out at different points along five (5) profiles. This research investigates the causes of massive borehole failure at Kaura area of Kaduna state using the resistivity tomography techniques. Terrameter SAS300 is the instruments used to acquire the data. A total of 19 boreholes are functioning, while 31 boreholes are non-functioning within the area. The investigation has portrayed...
