Author(s): Kingsley Arerebo Egbejule* and Moses Oghenerukevwe Okevwemeke
A resistivity survey was carried out to study groundwater potential in Rumuogolu road of Rukpokwu community, Rivers State of Nigeria with the aim of determining the depth, thickness, resistivity and lithology at which groundwater can be obtained. Four vertical electrical soundings were conducted using the Schlumberger configuration. The VES data were subjected to an iteration software (IPI2WIN) which showed that the area is composed of alluvium sand, sand and sandstone (consolidated). Based on the interpretation, layer under the geoelectric section is sand (made up of fine–coarse sand) in VES05 to VES08 all had four aquiferous zones. The aquifers where good quality groundwater was obtainable were dependent on their depths and thickness of the sand body... View More»
