Abstract

Thirteen vertical electrical sound points using Schlumberger array method were chosen, outside cultural interference and terrametcr SAS 300c was used to obtain the sounding curves in parts of Kaduna town and environs in the Basement complex of Nigeria. The result were interpreted using Resixp Programme (1992) to quantitatively delineate the various layers, which revealed four to six layers, with their thicknesses and apparent resistivities. The qualitative interpretations were also deduced showing the piczometric, isoresistivity, depth to basement maps and the water potential of the area. The results showed a good correlation with existing geologic and topographic and drainage maps of the study area. Its water potential of the study area varied from one place to another.
