Electrical resistivity data acquired in one hundred and ten (110) locations using vertical electrical sounding method of Schlumberger array have been used to study the hydrogeological properties and groundwater storage potential of bedrock aquifers in an area covered by Geological Sheet 223 Ilorin, Nigeria. The aim of the study was to identify productive aquifer zones for citing boreholes for community water supply. The data acquired were processed and interpreted using auxiliary curve matching and computer automation method to delineate the different geo-electric layers, their resistivities, thicknesses, and depths. Geo-electrical layers were interpreted to their equivalent geological layers using borehole lithological logs from the study area. Then, the hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, fracture contrast, reflection coefficient were estimated and plotted in the form of 2D maps to describe the spatial variations of these parameters in the area. The results of the study revealed the presence of three to five geo-electric layers. The geo-electric layers, from top to the bottom, corresponds to the topsoil layer, lateritic layer, weathered rock layer, fractured rock layer, and the fresh basement rock. Lateritic and/or fractured rock layers were not delineated in some places. The weathered and fractured rock layers, where present, correspond to the aquifer units. The thickness of the fracture aquifer ranges from 0.6 to 33.6 m while the thickness of the weathered aquifer ranges from 1.4 to 49.3 m. The transmissivity, $$ T $$ T , and hydraulic conductivity, $$ K $$ K , range from 3 to 1200 m2/day and 1 to 48 m/day, respectively. The reflection coefficient and fracture contrast map showed the presence of water-bearing fractures and shared some similarities with T and K maps. A mathematical model for predicting groundwater potential, $$ {\text{GW}}_{\text{P}} $$ GW P , of weathered aquifer in the basement complex terrain was proposed in this study. The consistencies between the overall groundwater potential map and aquifers parameters distributions maps suggest the appropriateness of the proposed mathematical model for predicting groundwater potential of weathered rock in the basement complex area of Nigeria. The western, northwestern, and central parts of the study area, having $$ {\text{GW}}_{\text{P}} $$ GW P greater than 0.6 (60%), were recommended for groundwater development through boreholes drilled to a depth ranging between 75 and 100 m.
The study begins with a brief introduction on how theatre emerged in the world, Kurdistan and Koya city. In the beginning, performances were conducted in the outside of the theatre closed halls, on the streets, at parties, occasions and in schools. It is clear that an important and complementary aspect of theatre performance process is the audience. Therefore, when the performances lack audience attendances, crises emerge. In order to reduce the crisis, return the theatre role and make up the audience with theatre; it is imperative to provide another kind and style of performing which can be done by returning to the natural and primitive style of theatre; street theatre. From this aspect, we need the opinion of people on the issue. Therefore, we have conducted a survey in which 100 people from different walks of life, different genders and ages participated. The survey consisted of some questions in which the participants were asked to tick appropriate choices according to their opinions. After that the results of the survey have been shown. In addition to the survey we have interviewed experts and professionals in the field in order to know their views on the issue. Finally, appropriate solutions have been suggested to solve this crisis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
