Estimation of aquifer hydraulic parameters using electrical resistivity method: A case study for Damaturu, Northeast Nigeria.

In this study we estimated the aquifer hydraulic parameters of Damaturu, Yobe State, Nigeria, using electrical resistivity method. Schlumberger configuration was adopted for study. Five geologic layers, which are Topsoil, Clay, Sand, Sandy-clay, and Sand were delineated in area. The results measured revealed that values area ranged from 126 to 518 Ωm has an average 328 Ωm. thickness 39 71m with value 59 m. conductivity 1.138 4.231 m/day 1.915 m/day. transmissivity 62.7 to194.64 m2 /day 111 /day. porosity 30.13 31.44 % 30.6 %. showed appreciable effective groundwater flow storage. also good potential. Therefore, will assist providing exquisite information exploration, abstraction, development pollution control
