“…In the AHP model, priority is given not only to the single element, but also to the cluster of elements that are often needed (Saaty 1999). In this paper, the AHP model was successfully used to assign relative importance to parameters that elucidate potential groundwater areas (Machiwal et al 2015;Jhariya et al 2016;Dasho et al 2017;Das et al 2017;Chakrabortty et al 2018;Das et al 2019). The main aim of this work is to identify the groundwater potential area of Purba Bardhaman district through the application AHP method and GIS technique.…”

The word water is life, so life on this planet cannot be possible without water. Water is an essential natural resource that is a surface and groundwater device for human society. The purpose of this research is to assess the groundwater potentiality of the Purba Bardhaman district. All data (primary and secondary) are collected from different sources and analyzed in geographic information system (GIS) software to prepare thematic maps. Different geo-environmental factors like as land use and land cover, soil, lithology, rainfall and distance from the river, etc., can impact on groundwater availability directly or indirectly in Purba Bardhaman area. To identify groundwater potential zones, all these factors are composed into GIS software using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method. The groundwater potential map has been divided into five classes based on their magnitude as very high, high, medium, low and very low groundwater potential zones. It shows that the areas of very low, low, medium, high and very high groundwater potential zones are 21.54%, 35.80%, 26.47%, 10.13%, 6.06%, respectively, of the total area. Finally, validation is carried out using groundwater depth data collected from 44 drilled tube wells which are located in a scattered manner for whole Purba Bardhaman district which indicates a higher similarity with an area under curve value of 86.8%.

“…The rose diagram prepared using the fault length at 10° interval shows prominent lineament trends in the N-S and NNE-SSW directions. The N-S and the NNE-SSW trend patterns align with the general N-S foliation strike emplacement and the transcurrent faults system across the region, suggesting that this region has been intensively affected by the reactivated Pan-African shear zones and transcurrent faults Dasho et al 2017). Less dominant trends, from the rose diagram, are the NE-SW and NW-SE directions, the twin conjugate produced by transcurrent movements .…”

This study carried out a seismotectonic analysis of parts of Togo-Benin-Nigeria shield by delineating and characterising crustal discontinuities using gravity bouguer anomaly data. This was with a view to understand the significance of the discontinuities to the seismicity of the area. Three dimensional (3-D) Euler deconvolution and horizontal gradient magnitude (HGM) at varied upward continued layer were applied on the filtered bouguer gravity data to highlight crustal discontinuities and determine their dip directions. The result showed that 89 lineaments were mapped as faults/fractures from the gravity data. The lengths of the lineaments range from about 6.2 to 94.3 km. The prominent fault/fracture trends were in the N-S and NNE-SSW directions with less dominant trends in the NE-SW and NW-SE directions. The prominent N-S trend pattern aligns with the general N-S foliation strike emplacement across the shield. The Lagos-Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode fault line was identified in this map as having close proximity to locations of previous earth tremors and therefore might be associated to those events.

“…The removal of the non-crustal effects from the acquired aeromagnetic data was done through the removal of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF). The airborne magnetic datasets of the study area were gridded to an equal cell size of 100 m using a minimum curvature method (Briggs 1974;Webring 1981). To convert the magnetic intensity data acquired at different magnetic field inclinations to what they would be with zero inducing field inclination, the TMI map (Figure 2(a)) was transformed to Reduction-to-Equator (RTE) map (Figure 2(b)), this step is considered necessary in low magnetic latitude area like the study area (Keating and Zerbo 1996).…”

“…However, geophysical methods such as Ground Penetrating Radar, Magnetic, Gravity, Electromagnetic and Seismic methods provide a means of obtaining subsurface information in areas with partial/complete cover by alluvium, colluvium and vegetation, and these methods have been used by Boucher 1995;Masoud et al 2007 to map geologic features such as intrusive rocks, folds, and faults. Also, remote-sensing techniques involving the use of multispectral and optical data have been used to discriminate different lithology and lineaments (Masoud and Koike 2011;Bahiru and Woldai 2016;Dasho et al 2017;Adebayo 2018). This paper identifies surface and subsurface structural features in Osun State using airborne magnetic data and satellite remotely sensed data, also investigated the existence of some of the suspected faults using a ground magnetic survey, which measures the magnetic amplitude at discrete points across the suspected faults.…”

This study delineates surface and subsurface structural features in the hard rock terrain of Osun State using magnetic data and satellite remote sensing imageries. To achieve this aim, several image enhancement methods were applied to the magnetic data and satellite remotely sensed imageries to improve visualization and interpretation. The subsurface lineaments were detected and traced out from the maxima of Horizontal Gradient Magnitude, peaks of Analytical Signal Magnitude, and an Euler solution of Osun state. The magnetic lineament map reveals that the structural trend in the area is dominant by NE-SW and NNE-SSW. These structural trends were found to be consistent with the regional tectonics of the Southwest Basement of Nigeria. The NE-SW is the most conspicuous structural trend in the study area. The satellite imageries depict a characteristics feature of the occurrence of underlying structures in the basement complex of Osun State. The major lineament trends delineated in the composite surface lineament map are the NE-SW, NNE-SSW, and ENE-WSW directions. The 2.5 D model across the unmapped lineaments confirmed the existence of a thin dyke's characteristic of fracture/fault in a typical basement complex terrain. The derived lineaments may serve as a reference for future geological and structural mapping.
