The objective of the manuscript would be to sketch the issues inherent in application of managed supply electromagnetic methods (CSEM) to geothermal exploration. Measurements happen to be produced in both equally…
Electrical resistivity prospecting technique was Employed in assessing the groundwater likely of Ita-Eku, southeastern Component of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state, Nigeria using the vertical electrical sounding technique. A complete of 7 electrical soundings had been carried out using the Schlumberger electrode array. The information acquired were interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively and were introduced as tables, charts and section. The interpreted versions revealed a few to four geo-electrical layers namely; topsoil, clay/lateritic soil, weathered/fractured layer and refreshing basement. The topsoil which is pretty thin has thickness ranging involving 0.eight and a pair of.5m although the resistivity values range between 26 to 171 Ω-m. The 2nd layer has thickness ranging from 2.
Electrical resistivity system is a flexible and affordable strategy for groundwater prospecting in various geological options on account of huge spectrum of resistivity in comparison with other geophysical…
The prevalence of groundwater in fissure units or weathered zones signifies that the methods at any one site are finite and relatively smaller. Nicely yields in the same way are restricted, rarely exceeding five hundred m 3 /day. In this situation the groundwater reservoir is structurally controlled and, for that reason, liable to investigation by a range of procedures including photogeology and geophysics.
The indiscriminate drilling and raising populace as well as their economic activities are in collaboration to abstraction of groundwater likely in the review location. Evidently, the above mentioned problems of Awka and environs have established the basis to unleash the aquiferous zones and parameters through the Evaluation of groundwater process for good familiarity with aquifers in the research area. The ... [Show comprehensive abstract] usage of electrical resistivity process that is the mostly used geophysical means of groundwater exploration were being utilized During this analyze. With this electrical resistivity approach, using Schlumberger array posed better value in delineating the aquifer parameters described by depth, thickness, transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity. Aquifer is called geological development capable of yielding financial amount of drinking water by means of recharge and discharge via water cycle. VES knowledge on the nine (9) communities of Awka and environs at two locations Each individual have been plotted with IPI2WIN software program and interpreted geologically and geophysically in subsections, the outcomes disclosed 4-6 levels. The nine (nine) communities of Awka and environs have been subdivided into zone A and zone B to allow quick operate move and pumping exam Assessment utilizing the two current borehole VES four and VES 14 facts.
The review in the groundwater likely and aquifer protective capacity of overburden models in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, southwestern Nigeria are undertaken. The world is underlain because of the Precambrian basement complicated of southwestern Nigeria with local geology predominantly granite-gneiss and migmatite. 51 Schlumberger vertical electrical soundings (VES) were being covered. The interpretation disclosed 3 distinct geoelectric levels overlying the resistive basement, the topsoil, the weathered layer as well as partly weathered/fractured basement. The depth to the very best of basement (overburden thickness) diversified from Ita-Eku state Ekiti one.

"Historically, the Ekitis are Among the many aboriginal components of Nigeria absorbed with the invaders from the East (Yoruba folks from Ile Ife). "The term Ekiti denotes a "Mound", and it is derived in the rugged mountainous element of that Component of the region. It's an in depth province and very well-watered, including a number of tribes and households right on to the border of the Niger, eastward. They hold them selves rather distinct with the Ijesas, especially in political affairs." (Samuel Johnson, The Background of the Yoruba, 1921). It is believed that the ancestors in the Ekiti individuals who arrived to mix Together with the aboriginal men and women around the land migrated from Ile Ife, the spiritual residence of your Yoruba people today.
