APPLICATION OF GEOELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY IMAGING TO INVESTIGATE GROUNDWATER POTENTIAL
ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to determine the Application of Geoelectrical Resistivity Imaging and investigate the Groundwater Potential in the area under study. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to determine the availability of groundwater resources in Atan using geoelectrical resistivity method and determine the depth of groundwater of the study area using vertical electrical sounding. Geoelectrical resistivity imaging using both 2D and Vertical Electrical Sounding (1D) method was carried out in Atan, Ado/Odo Ota Local Government, Ogun State ,Nigeria using the PAS earth resistivity meter. Three profiles was carried out using both Wenner and Schlumberger array configuration. The data was interpreted using RES2DINV for 2D and computer iteration method (WinResist) for VES. Results showed that there are five major layers which described the geological structure of the study area. The resistivity values ranges between 1200Ωm to 4000Ωm, 500Ωm to 1000Ωm, 400Ωm to 800Ωm , 200Ωm to 400Ωm and 60.7 Ωm to approximately 100Ωm respectively according to the structures. VES1, VES 2, VES 3 and VES 4 apparent resistivity curve shows the different layers with their corresponding thicknesses. The study area revealed that the depth to the aquifer ranges between 130m to 140m. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the length for electrode spreading should be increased to at least 400m or 500m in order for the injection current to penetrate deep the ground for Wenner array configuration. Also, the research work should be made to have more profiles for better resolution.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Groundwater has an excellent microbiological quality and generally adequate chemical quality for most uses. Nine major chemical constituents (Na, Ca, Mg, KHCO3, Cl, SO4, NO3 and Si) make up 99% of the solute content of natural groundwater. The proportion of these constituents reflects the geology and history of the groundwater. Minor and trace constituents make up the remaining 1% of the total, and their presence (or absence) can occasionally give rise to health problems or make them unacceptable for human or animal use (British Geological Survey to Africa).
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
