Popis: This study addresses the problem of determining water bearing zones in Adankolo campus of Federal University Lokoja and environs. An inquiry into groundwater was done using electrical resistivity to measure the resistivity variations of the subsurface formations with depth. A vertical electrical sounding VES that is compatible to the Schlumberger configuration were allocated to the mapped areas. The research aims at finalizing investigation on groundwater occurrence using electrical resistivity method, which has the aim of providing a geological map of the study area that can carry-out electrical resistivity sounding in some selected places within the study area to analyse the groundwater condition from geo-electrical and hydrogeological characteristics of the aquifer(s) that are present within the study area.
