dc.description.abstractFresh water resources are essential component of the earth hydrosphere and are indispensable for all organisms. The aim of the study is to assess the Spatial Variation of Groundwater Potentials in parts of Kaduna South Local Government Area, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used in the work Data. Primary data that were use are satellite imageries (LANDSAT 8) and Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM). While the secondary data include rainfall data and existing soil map of Kaduna state. The GPS locations of borehole’s site were processed using Arch-GIS tool to depict the pattern of the spatial variation of the groundwater potentials in the study area. The result shows that there is good groundwater potentials in the Northern areas while the areas with low potential are in the Southern parts respectively. the result also shows that, very good groundwater potential zones occupies a coverage of about 6.2%, High potential constitute 10.1%, moderate occupies 17.8% while low and very low constitute of 36.1% and 30.0% respectively. The study therefore recommends that, these zones be combined with detailed geophysical mapping for quantitative evaluation of the groundwater potential, and that, surface water development be intensified in the low to very low zone yield areas. Finally groundwater development. Groundwater potential zones mapping should be carried out for the entire country to serve as a guide for water resource agencies.en_US
