Deployment of Geophysical Technique in Groundwater Search at Guinueaworm Endermic areas in Obubra local government area of cross river state, Nigeria

Abstract

This study was conducted in the Guineaworm prone areas in Obubra Local Government Area, the study entails the deployment of vertical electrical sounding technique in the search for groundwater. In doing this, measurement was made in 14 profiles of 500m long each, using the IGIS resistivity meter model SSR-MP-ATS. Resist software was used for analysis. The Geoelectric sounding data interpretation revealed characteristic curves with two to six geoelectric layer thicknesses. The predominant curve types in the area were the KH, HKH, and HK. The electrical resistivity of the first layer ranged between 15.8to1626Ωm, which was indicative of clay, shale, or sandy silt, three to six geoelectric layers were obtained from the interpretation of the sounding data. The resistivity of the second layer ranged from 52.3 to 370.7Ωm. This was assumed to be shalestone/shale, and it was overlain by the third layer, which had resistivity values between 121 m to 1491.9Ωm, which was assumed to be sandstone (sandstone materials make good aquifers).The fourth layer, had values between 12.3Ωm. m to 1052.7Ωm, the fifth layer, had values between 11.21Ωm. to 2277.2Ωm, and the last layer, which had a value of32Ωm.The Transmissivity measurements ranged from 16 m2/day to 171 m2/day, Porosities were high with strong storactivity which show that the studied area contains thick and abundant aquiferous zone. Protective capacities (PC) values of (0.01-1.260 seimens) were obtained from the VES data. Borehole depths were recommended for each profile for borehole development. The study was identified to have confine aquifer terrain because of the confining clay layer which had a large vertical extend in the adjacent layers that enclosed the aquifer layer.
