Exploration of Aquifer Levels in Abraka, Obiaruku and Umutu Communities in Delta State, Nigeria
Abstract
The Schlumberger vertical electrical sounding method was used to detect aquifer levels in Abraka, Obiaruku and Umutu communities in Delta State respectively. The study recorded the aquifer level in Obiaruku to be between 26m to 34m. In Abraka the aquifer level lied between 20m to about 30m while in Umutu, it was between 50m to 100m. Borehole data showed that portable drinking water lies between 20m to 100m and could easily be assessed in these areas.
