Abstract
Description
Electrical methods of geophysics are widely used in addressing a variety of hydrologic problems including groundwater exploration, groundwater quality and contamination studies. This study presents the integration of electrical resistivity techniques with time-domain induced polarization (IP) imaging for groundwater exploration in a sedimentary terrain, southwestern Nigeria. The subsurface was characterized to identify the lithologic units and delineate the underlying aquifer.
