Abstract
The purpose of the study was to find and examine correlation relationships between field-scale hydraulic parameters and pore-scale geo-electrical parameter controlling groundwater occurrence in Kabatini aquifer of Upper Lake Nakuru Basin, Kenya. The study has taken under consideration priori published resistivity sounding and hydrological parameters and depth of water table from drill siteswhich is used to constrain ambiguity of interpretation. An attempt has been made to derive general functional relationships between hydraulic parameters and geo-electric property of the aquifer.The observed hydraulic data from pumping test is correlated non- linearly with aquifer electrical resistivity. The formation resistivity factor was found vary partially with pore volume and pore surface distribution. Porosity as a function of aquifer resistivity was best defined by a negative power law function, whereas transmissivity dependence on resistivity was found to bear a positive power law. The aquifer parameters information thus obtained from resistivitysounding and pumpingtest data can be used for optimal management and assessment of groundwater resources.
