This work was carried out to evaluate the hydrogeological and geophysical properties of Abakaliki and Afikpo environs. Forty-seven (47) Vertical Electrical Sounding data were acquired with electrode spacing (AB/2) of 500m using Schlumberger electrode configuration. Conventional curve matching techniques were used to interpret the data and obtain initial model parameters. Results of the study showed 3-7 electric layers which indicate multiple aquifer system. QQH, QHK, KHK and QQHK models were the Vertical Sounding curves obtained. The aquiferous layers make up the third and fourth layers. The resistivity of the aquifer varies from 10.74Ωm to 13201Ωm with an average of 1013.58 Ωm. Aquifer depth ranges from 6.2m to 92.5m with an average aquifer depth of 27.07m, while the aquifer thickness varies from 2.3m to 55.87m with an average of 15.61m. Transverse resistance varies from 65.34Ωm2to 7079.14 Ωm2 with an average of 9966.29 Ωm2; and the longitudinal conductance varies from 0.00018Ω-1 to 1.65 Ω-1 with an average of 0.026 Ω-1. From the study, 49% of the study area falls under the poor protective rating while 21% falls under the weak rating with 25% and 5% which makes up the moderate and good ratings respectively. Using the average longitudinal conductance, it is observed that the study area is moderately protected.
