AbstractGroundwater samples were evaluated for irrigation purpose, within selected part of Oju area of Benue State, Nigeria. The study area lies within Asu River Group of the Lower Benue Trough, southern part of Nigeria. Physicochemical parameters were analyzed using APHA, 2012 method. Results from the study showed that pH falls within slightly basic to acidic, with Ec value ranging from 127 to 760 μS/cm, SSP ranges from 1.53 to 43.78, Sodium Percentage ranges from 1.55 to 77.8 %, Kelly Ratio ranges from 0.01 to 0.77, Magnesium Absorption Ratio ranges from 0.00 to 61.98 and total hardness Total Hardness ranges from 72.00 to 425.5 within the study area. The above listed parameters were below various permissible standard value for irrigation except for MAR at LBT/04, Na % at LBT/09, 13 and 14, SAR at 01 and 04 and TH at LBT/04 that were slightly above various permissible standard values. From Gibbs plot it was observed that rock dominance is the major factor that influences groundwater except for few sampling point were precipitation dominance was observed to have influence on groundwater within the study area.

Aeromagnetic survey in central West Greenland: project Aeromag 2001. Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 191, 67-72. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v191.5130 The series of government-funded geophysical surveys in Greenland was continued during the spring and summer of 2001 with a regional aeromagnetic survey north of Uummannaq, project Aeromag 2001 (Fig. 1). The survey added about 70 000 line kilometres of high-quality magnetic measurements to the existing database of modern airborne geophysical data from Greenland. This database includes both regional high-resolution aeromagnetic surveys and detailed surveys with combined electromagnetic and magnetic airborne measurements.
