Structural Mapping of Kakobola and Its Surroundings by Analyzing Geomagnetic Data

This study focuses on the Kakobola region and its surroundings where cavities discovered in basement may represent a major risk for hydroelectric dam erected Lufuku River near city civil engineering works area. In order to deepen studies related this understudied provide decision-makers with information that will enable them make necessary appropriate decisions regarding development of area, based analysis geomagnetic data was carried out using certain methods revealing more shallow than deep structures, others highlighting limits both shallower deeper structures. Total magnetic anomalies reduced equator (RTE) were used map subsurface surroundings. detect edges magnetized horizontal gradient magnitude (HGM), analytic signal (AS), tilt angle (HGTA), (TA), theta (TM), enhanced total derivative (ETHDR), (TAHG), (TAAS) used. The area is characterized by two areas low values other sources high located bed neighborhood rivers region. are lying vicinity same connected almost linear. Several lineaments identified different present several preferential directions, but most predominant directions NE-SW, NW-SE, W-E NE-SW.
