    Estimation of groundwater resources requires data on aquifer water level fluctuation and changes in water elevation with time. This work provide basis of understanding groundwater potential and solving the water scarcity of the study area. Water demand of the study area was determined. Water demand of the Teaching and Administrative area is 2,847 m3/d, for area “A” is 212 m3/d, for area “C” is 130 m3/d, for area “BZ” is 278 m3/d, for area “F” is 187 m3/d, for area “G” is 88 m3/d, for area “E” is 82 m3/d, for Catering Flats near Staff Club is 16 m3/d, for Quarters III is 90 m3/d, for Waterworks Junior Staff Quarter is 10 m3/d, for Silver Jubilee is 200 m3/d, for Aviation Site II is 60 m3/d, medical students is 93.6 m3, Shika Hospital is 154 m3/d/ respectively giving the total water demand of the study area 4,354 m3 .Since ABU Farm Lake is located about 2.5km from Bomo Lake and also that they are in the same water shed, hydrological data from Bomo Lake can be extrapolated to the Farm Lake. With 8.2 m static water level is 31.8 m saturated zone. The aquifer depth is 17,418,752 m3. Static Groundwater Resources of the study area are 18,266,708 m3. Total Dynamic Groundwater Resource are 5,166,623 m3/a. Utilizable Dynamic Groundwater Resource is 50 % of the Total Dynamic Resource. Area 42,892,705 m2. Population is 51,434. Geological map of the study area was upgraded. Map of configuration of groundwater table and its flow direction was plotted. Water budget map of the study area was produced. Volume of base flow and surface runoff calculated. Surface runoff, Surface, and Groundwater Resources of the Campus were calculated to determine its reserves and Hydrogeological map of the study area was produced.
