Abstract:

 

 

The present work is aimed to study the shallow fresh Water aquifer in sedimentary area. 3 vertical electrical soundings (VES) were carried out in the study area using Schlumberger method. CRM 500 instrument was used in the present study. The field data were interpreted by IPI2WIN software. Using the interpreted sounding results the best location (VES 1) of the 3 test locations. The test data interpretation was validated in bore well drilled at the recommended site. The results obtained from IPI2Win software was found to be 100 % correct in the field check. The top shallow aquifers are commonly fresh in nature in the study area. 18 m depth bore hole was drilled and samples were collected at 1 m interval. The observed subsurface details are 1-2 m (Clay mixed sand), 2-4 m (Medium to coarse sand), 5-8 m (Coarse sand), 8-9 m (Sandstone), 9-10 m (Coarse Sand), 10-17 (Medium Sand), 17-18 m (Sandstone). The study reveals that the top shallow aquifers are noticed from5 m to 17 m with good groundwater potential. It is thus established that the IPI2Win software interpretation is reliable in sedimentary area.
