Zusammenfassung
Electrical resistivity sounding was carried out in four Local Government Areas LGAs in Oyo Federal constituency, Oyo state. The geophysical survey was carried out in ten different rural urban communities locations in each of the four LGAs with the aim of determining the hydrogeology of the study areas for possible identification of aquifers that can serve as possible location of borehole drilling. The potential aquifer investigation was carried out using ABEM terrameter while schlumberger arrangement was the measurement method adopted for the forty Vertical Electrical Sounding VES stations in the study areas. Iteration processes using WINRESIST programme was performed on the field data and generated results includes the thickness, depth and resistivity values of each layers. The geo electric investigations revealed three and four layers. The results also revealed two categories of aquifers the High Water Potential HWP and Low Water Potential LWP . The resistivity layers that are less than 400 ohmmeters are categorized with HWP zones deep aquifers located at different thirty five VES stations while Local Water Potential shallow aquifers areas are found at five various locations with their resistivity greater than 400 ohmmeter. The aquifers locations can be considered for borehole drillings in the study areas. Oladejo, O. P. | Amusat, T. A. | Ogunkoya, C. O. | Akinlabi, I. A. | Olafisoye, E. R.
