Edward O. Osagie ABSTRACT An electrical resistivity survey was conducted in Afuze which lies in the Basement Complex of Nigeria. The survey was carried out to investigate the groundwater potential of the area with a view to locating suitable sites for groundwater exploitation. The symmetrical Schlumberger electrode configuration was used and the interpretation was aided by computer. The interpretation of the vertical sounding curves revealed four main geoelectric layers. There were generally two thin resistive top layers underlain by a low thick layer. All these overlay the resistive crystalline Basement. Two borehole sites were recommended for drilling based on the interpretation of the data. Reference: Osagie, E.O. 2010. Geoelectric groundwater investigation, southwestern Nigeria.
