The Middle Benue Trough is a complex geologic environment consisting of a mix of sedimentary and basement rocks. It is challenged by the problem of water scarcity due to insufficient surface water sources and acute pollution of rivers and streams. Cases of borehole failures are reported during exploration for groundwater and this could be as a result inadequate geological knowledge of the major influences on the availability of groundwater, one of which is lineaments. This study, therefore, integrates the strengths of both aeromagnetic and remote sensing data to appraise the lineaments. The results obtained have important implications for groundwater search in the study area in that they confirm that higher borehole discharge rates are associated with higher density and intersection of lineaments. |
