1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The
groundwater potentials and its environs are enormous based on the
positive indicators of high resistivity values, clean coarse sand
formation materials, the thickness of the established aquiferous
saturated zone and the shallow depth to locating the aquifer, which is
about from 22m that can facilitate the easy harnessing and supply of
safe, sustainable and portable water to the people of the area. Lack of
expertise might be a leading problem that might bring about poor water
production or drilling. This is a situation whereby the drillers are not
able to properly decipher the rudiment of borehole drilling and they
just stop into the line of business without knowing the right thing to
do. Finally, several studies has been carried out on delineation of
aquifer depth but not even a single research has been carried out on the
delineation of aquifer depths and its characterisation using
geophysical method.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
The main
aim of the study is to examine the delineation of aquifer depths and its
characterization using geophysical method. Other specific objectives of
the study include:
1. to determine the depth to bedrock aquifer thickness.
2. to determine the suitable areas for boreholes development.
3. to determine the approximate depths of the proposed boreholes.
4. to determine the factors affecting aquifer depth.
5. to proffer solution to the problems.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. What is the depth to bedrock aquifer thickness?
2. What are the suitable areas for boreholes development?
3. What is the approximate depth of the proposed boreholes?
4. What is the factors affecting aquifer depth?
5. What are the possible solutions to the problems?
