Groundwater flow direction in Ndokwa-East local government area of Delta state, Nigeria
The Global Positioning System (G.P.S) was used to measure the longitudes, latitudes and elevations above mean sea level at 11 locations evenly spread within Ndokwa-East Local Government Area of Delta State. The water table contour map of the study area revealed that groundwater flow direction is moderately toward the south (Aboh) and extensively towards the North-Western parts of the Region (Beneku and...

Structural and stratigraphic mapping of Emi field, offshore Niger Delta
The Niger Delta, where oil and gas are predominantly trapped in sandstones and unconsolidated sands in the Agbada formation, ranked among the world’s major hydrocarbon provinces. The traps, structure and stratigraphic, could be very subtle and complex and are therefore, difficult to map accurately. The degree of reliability and precision of the mapping can be greatly enhanced by integrating seismic data...

Geoelectric investigation of the effect of heavy clay deposits on aquifer potential in Okpara waterside Delta State, Nigeria
Groundwater is a valuable natural resource that is of immense importance to life. It is naturally stored in the pore spaces within soil compartments and between unconsolidated formations. Its availability and characteristics are greatly determined by the properties of the immediate geologic formations, landfills, toxic wastes and running surface waters etc. Surface geologic presentation of formations in...
