The Geology of Nsugbe

The high rate of population with Nsugbe and neighboring towns has brought about a high demand of sustainable ground water development in the area. The natural flow of water through the aquifer is determined from the hydraulic properties of aquifer. Hydraulics (K) and Transmissivity (T) are the aquifer properties. Predictions of these parameters using geophysical method now proof effective technique for aquifer evaluation.A total of ten (10) vertical electrical sounding was acquired using the high resolution ABEM signal averaging system (SAS 1000) resistivity meter employing the Schlumberger array configuration. Data processing and interpretation was done using the INTERPEX resistivity software.Computed transverse resistance and longitudinal conductance were utilized in the evaluation of aquifer hydraulics. The Computed aquifer parameters compared with the available pump-test data show slight similarities proving the authenticity of the technique. This study has shown that the Nsugbe sandstone is moderately potential. The project area Nsubge is located in Anambra east local government area, Anambra state Southeastern Nigeria.
