Statement of Problem
In the past 25 years, Gbako drainage basin has experienced an increase in groundwater exploitation by the rural population (Amadi et al., 2010). The fast growing population in the parts of the basin is connected to the high potential for agricultural production in the area which causes a serious water and population imbalance, compounding the problem of falling groundwater levels. The rapidly diminishing and poor quality surface water resource have forced the rural people of the area to install relatively inexpensive shallow hand-dug wells. However, over the years, in many areas, these wells tend to go dry during the critical dry months (January to March). The increased exploitation of groundwater coupled with lack of information on declining water tables, extraction estimates, and aquifer properties is of great concern from a sustainability stand point. The inability to access these information, which at times is part of institutional secrecy, encourages inaction or incorrect decisions. Therefore, for a sustainable groundwater and correct decisions there is the need to study or determine water table fluctuations and aquifer properties in the study location.
