The objective of this Electrical resistivity survey is to assess the hydrogeological characteristics of the study area. This includes the depth of aquifer, availability of groundwater, determining of weathered zone of underlying geological formation which is competent basement and the delineation of the subsurface into various geo-electric layers. The availability of the groundwater is controlled by various factor such as Hydrogeology of the area, Geological set of the area and structural arrangement of the area. The method used for the survey is direct current method by using schlumberger array arrangement of the electrode. The artificial current introduced into ground by using current electrode and the potential difference measured on ground at potential electrode. Deviations from the expected pattern of potential differences from homogeneous and heterogenous ground provide information which reflect the anomalies lithological units and electrical properties of subsurface formation. A total of 10 vertical electric sounding was carried out in the study area. The data plotted and computer software IP2iwin used to iterate the result. This removes the noise and field errors incorporated in the data. The result of the VES curve shows that there are three major geoelectric layer.
