Highlights
Water is essential for development of different season’s irrigation, industry and domestic purpose
A total of 10 VES points were occupied on the study area with maximum electrode spacing of 100m.The Vertical Electrical Sounding which is a 1-D resistivity approach is used to measure the vertical variations in electrical properties beneath the earth surface using the Schlumberger electrode configuration
It involves the use of a pair of current electrodes and a pair of potential electrodes to measure the resultant potential difference within the subsurface (Fig. 2)
Summary
Water is essential for development of different season’s irrigation, industry and domestic purpose. The scarcity of groundwater increases day by day due to rapid population, urbanization, industrial and agricultural related activities. The geo-electrical resistivity and electromagnetic geophysical prospecting methods are increasingly being used in addressing a wide variety of mineral exploration, hydrogeological, environmental and geotechnical problems by determining the spatial and/or temporal variability of subsurface electrical properties (resistivity/conductivity and dielectric constant) (Aizebeokhai and Oyeyemi, 2014). The electrical resistivity method primarily allows measurement of the potential differences on the surface due to the current flow within the ground. This method employs a phenomenon which makes possible the delineation and fluid content determination of various subsurface geologic units by the analysis of their electrical resistance response. This work is aim at using the electrical resistivity technique to delineate the subsurface lithology an assessment of groundwater potential of the area under study
