AQUIFER HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS AND VULNERABILITY ESTIMATION FROM VERTICAL ELECTRICAL SOUNDING: A CASE STUDY OF ORU AND ENVIRONS,SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIA
Abstract:
Aquifer hydraulic characteristics and vulnerability assessment are essential for sustainable groundwater management, particularly in regions facing increasing water demands and environmental stresses. This study focuses on the estimation of aquifer hydraulic parameters and vulnerability using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) data in the Oru and its environs, located in South Eastern Nigeria.
Vertical Electrical Sounding is a geophysical technique widely used for subsurface investigations, particularly in hydrogeological studies. In this research, VES data were collected at strategic locations within the study area. The data were interpreted using the Schlumberger array to derive the aquifer parameters, including the hydraulic conductivity (K) and transmissivity (T).
The results reveal spatial variations in aquifer hydraulic characteristics across the study area. The estimated values of hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity provide valuable insights into the potential groundwater yield and flow characteristics of the aquifer system in Oru and its environs. Additionally, the vulnerability of the aquifer to contamination was assessed using the DRASTIC method, which considers various factors such as Depth to Water Table (D), Net Recharge (R), Aquifer Media (A), Soil Media (S), Topography (T), Impact of Vadose Zone (I), and Hydraulic Conductivity (C).
The vulnerability assessment indicates areas of varying degrees of vulnerability to contamination, highlighting zones where groundwater resources are at higher risk. These findings are crucial for groundwater resource management, land-use planning, and the development of appropriate mitigation measures to protect the aquifer system.
This study contributes to the existing knowledge by providing a case study of aquifer hydraulic characteristics and vulnerability assessment using VES data in South Eastern Nigeria. The results offer valuable insights for policymakers, water resource managers, and stakeholders in sustainable groundwater management practices in the region.
