ABSTRACT
Fifty Schlumberger vertical electrical soundings (VES) carried out
in the Federal University of Technology, Yola, Nigeria, have been interpreted.
The data were first interpreted using conventional partial curve-matching
techniques in order to obtain the initial model param-eters. The model
parameters obtained were used as an input into an optimizing computer program
utilized for this study. Information from boreholes were incorporated to
enhance and obtain realistic geologic models in the study area. The results
obtained from the interpretation revealed three geoelectric layers. The
depth to aquifer in the study area is 50 m. The transmissivity and hydraulic
conductivity values compare well with the aquifer characteristics in the
study area.
