dc.description.abstractIn order to identify the aquifers, characterize their geometric properties, and determine their susceptibility to contamination by surface contaminants, a detailed hydrogeophysical investigation of the aquifers of the study area was conducted. The study area was subjected to fifteen (15) vertical electrical soundings (VES) with a Schlumberger array configuration with a maximum electrode separation of 200 m. Curve matching methods and iterative computer modeling were combined to process the VES data. Parameters estimated are aquifer thickness, longitudinal conductance (S), transverse unit resistance (Tr), average longitudinal resistance (ρL), aquifer conductivity (ῼ−1), hydraulic conductivity (K), and transmissivity (T), and their corresponding estimated values, which vary across the study area, range from 1.63 to 103.83 m, 0.02 to 0.05, 0 to 122169.9 ohms, 0 to 3406.4, 0.000037 to 0.001126, 0.0538 to1.13x1023m2/day, 0 to 1.85x1023m2/day, respectively. Deductions from S. revealed that the study area is prone to contamination from the study. Further findings from groundwater modeling, hydraulic conductivity, and transmissivity suggested that the southwestern part of the study area showed more groundwater prospects when compared to other parts of the study area. Within the study, it was observed that curve Q is the most dominant curve within the study area.
