ABSTRACT
Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Geographical Information System (GIS) based hydrological modelling was applied to Hadejia River Sub-basin- an integral of the Chad Basin in the Northern Nigeria- to determine the impacts of land use/cover dynamics on the hydrological re...
ABSTRACT
A geoelectric survey of groundwater potential was carried out in the male hostel at Isa Kaita College of Education Dutsinma, Katsina State Nigeria using ABEM SAS 300 Terrameter. The Wenner and Schlumberger electrodes configurations were used for data acquisition. In the process...
Abstract
A geoelectric survey was carried out in Badeggi under Katcha Local Government area of Niger State with the aim of evaluating the aquifer protective capacity and soil corrosivity of the overburden units in the study area using vertical electrical sounding method. G41 Resistivity...
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 productio...
ABSTRACT
Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES), using Schlumberger array was carried out to investigate the subsurface layer parameters of a 500 x 500 m land area located between latitude 09o 32′21.4′′ N to 09o 32′37.8′′ N and longitude 06o 27′29.2...
