Electrical Resistivity Method

Groundwater is described as the water found beneath the surface of the earth in underground streams and aquifers and has become popular as a source of drinking potable water in Nigeria due to its quality when compared to other water sources. The Electrical resistivity method was employed in Imakun Omi Community, a coastal town in Ogun Waterside Local government area of  Ogun State with the aim of determining the groundwater potential of the area. A total of twenty (20) Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) points were carried out in the area using the Schlumberger configuration with maximum current electrode separation (AB) of 300m using the ABEM SAS 1000 Terrameter. The results obtained were interpreted quantitatively and qualitatively using partial curve matching and computer iteration programs WINRESIST and SURFER 11 for the interpretation from which the reflection coefficient was computed. The groundwater potential of the rock units were evaluated and  40% of the stations show  high yield, 50% of the stations show medium yield and 10% of the stations was observed to have low yield. The aquifer thicknesses are very thick with values ranging from 6.9 m to 79.3 m, hence an average of 43.1mand overburden thicknesses ranging from 9.7m to 96.5 m, with an average of 53.1m
