Geoelectrical Evaluation Of The Variation In The Spatial Distribution Of Aquifers In The Basement Complex – A Case Study Of Laduga Community, Kaduna State, North Central, Nigeria.

Abstract

Absract: To investigate the variation in the spatial distribution of aquifers in the Basement Complex, a total of 12 Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were undertaken in the Study Area. The field work was followed by VES Interpretation using IPI2Win electrical resistivity interpretation software, which involves the creation of VES curves, pseudo and resistivity sections. The study revealed considerable variability in the distribution, extent, type, thickness, water content and resistivity of the aquifers in the area. Also the high groundwater potential points in the area have been delineated.
