Abstract
Groundwater exploration is vital to guaranteeing a reliable water supply in both urban and rural locations. In Bori Metropolis, the growing demand for potable water necessitates a thorough examination of the aquifer system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the groundwater potential in Bori Metropolis by assessing aquifer resistivity, depth, and thickness using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES). A total of 13 VES surveys were completed in the study region using the Schlumberger array. The apparent resistivity measurements were analyzed using 1D inversion techniques to determine aquifer depth and thickness. The results showed that aquifer resistivity values ranged from to at depths ranging from to . Aquifer thicknesses ranged from to , indicating a high groundwater potential in the area. The results indicate that the Bori Metropolis area comprises a well-defined aquifer system with a high potential for groundwater extraction. These findings give important information for future water resource management in the region.
