dc.description.abstractResults of the electrical and seismic refraction methods used in the search for groundwater sources in Malumfashi, Kaduna State, Nigeria have shown that the water bearing layers are probably sand and clay. A typical geological section of the area consists of top soils, laterite, clay and sand and quartz with gravel overlying the basement complex rocks. The resistivity values for the water bearing layers detected vary from 6 m to 47 m and their seismic velocities range from 1500 m/s to 2,500 m/s. Depth to probable water table vary from 3.0 m to 12.0 m while the thickness of the water bearing layers vary from 3.0 m to 29.0 m. The Salinities of the water samples range from 0.06 - 0.26 gm/litre and are found suitable for both domestic and agricultural purposes. Four areas of probable groundwater sources have been identified and recommended to the Kaduna State Water Board for test drillings.en_US
