“…Also, the presence of laterites and quartzites in the study area beneath the clayey topsoil which extends beyond 2.5m are filter factors which could reduce the degree of aquifer vulnerability from the surface contamination. Figures 6 and 7 show the resistivity and thickness maps of the weathered layer respectively which closely agrees with the work of [11]. The deeper aquifer is found mostly in southwest (VES points D1, D2, E1, E2 and E3), and some parts of north (VES points A2, B2 and B3), and east (VES points B6 and C6), of the map which denoted by deep blue colour.…”

“…This information is vital in evaluating the aquifer protective capacity which is the interest of this research work. [11], held that the sections where the aquifer appears thickest with an averagely low resistivity value are the best areas for the exploitation of underground water or siting boreholes. With the aquifer thickness ranging from about 11.0 m to 42.0 m, the study area appears largely good enough for siting of boreholes except some parts of south-south (VES points C5 and D5), aquifer thickness is relatively low.…”

The study seeks to evaluate potential environmental impact on surface and groundwater as well as aquifer protective capacity to suggests possible solutions in some section of Kaduna Millennium City. A total of thirty Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were carried out using Schlumberger electrode configuration with current electrode spacing of a maximum of 200 m. The Interpreted data revealed the weak aquifer protective capacity zones which were found in some parts of northeast and central parts (VES stations A4, A5, A6, B4, C3 and C4) with its longitudinal conductance range from 0.114-0.194 Ω which represent 20% of the study area. Average/good aquifer protective capacity zones has longitudinal conductance ranging from 0.210-0.559 Ω. These zones covered twenty-four (24) VES stations which represent 80% of the study area and it is characterized with high thickness and low resistivity values of the weathered and fracture basement. Hence recommended for borehole siting. Similarly, the aquifer deep zones where the adjourning rocks are highly resistive (VES stations A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, D2, and E3) were also determined for siting waste and sewage disposals. However, the work also suggests that the urban associated development programs due to anthropogenic activities should be properly planned to avoid areas that are prone to contamination.

“…In addition, a remarkable study noted that to ensure adequate water security and sustainability, there is a need to install multiple boreholes in geophysical identi ed groundwater promising zones where the aquifer occurs in deeper zones and fractured [3]. This is because most remarkable studies conducted in the complex basement rock noted that the weathered/fractured units are largely responsible for the regional groundwater-bearing capacity [3,11,17,18]These situations therefore make this type of investigation a prima facie for the precise location of fractured zones for productive borehole sites. This study therefore evaluated the VES station parameters for groundwater development in a study area that falls within the Basement Complex terrain of Kaduna State, Nigeria.…”

Developing aquifers as part of sustainability efforts towards groundwater development is a tactical approach to meeting water demand and management objectives. Delineation of aquifer storage capacity (ASC) and longitudinal conductance (S_L) is a good approach in an attempt to increase water supply. Due to site-specific needs and demands, ASC and S_L play an all-important role in regional groundwater development and sustainability. This study applied Schlumberger and 2D electrical resistivity image (ERI) to determine the regional aquifer thickness in an attempt to assess the strength of ASC and also evaluation of a local S_L that can also be applicable regional scales using fifteen (15) VES points with one orthogonal profile of 2D ERI. The study shows that the layer resistivity values of the regional aquifer range from 39.9 Ωm – 105 Ωm, while the aquifer layer thickness values spread from 15 m – 44 m and the overburden thickness overlays the aquifer unit extends from 5 m to 10 m. The deeper aquifer zones were delineated within the depth of 30 m – 44 m, and the zones are considered to be suitable for groundwater development. The weathered/fractured basemen, which constitute the regional aquifer are delineated. The weathered layer with appreciably low resistivity values with thick aquifer regolith has also been identified as most suitable for borehole siting. The weathered/fractured encountered within thick aquifer regolith indicates a high storage capacity and positive groundwater development. The longitudinal conductance, SL and transverse resistance, RT estimated from aquifer parameters vary between 0.21 Ω-1-0.85 Ω-1 and 1695 Ωm2-3124Ωm2 respectively. The SL values show that that study area falls within moderate (0.20 Ω-1-0.69 Ω-1) and good (0.7 Ω-1-0.49 Ω-1) ASC, which invariably improved the regional aquifer recovery processing.

The purpose of examination hall allocation process is to determine the venue of students who are candidates of examination in any given institutions and also be able to give first-hand information about any student who sat for the exam. The aim of the project is to design and implement online examination hall allocation system for students in Kaduna Polytechnic, Kaduna. The new system will be achieved using Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology. The software required to design the new system includes Adobe Dreamweaver, the programming language that will be used comprises of Hypertext Mark-up Language, JavaScript’s, Cascading Style Sheet and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), the website will be tested on a local web server “XAMPP” and Structured Query Language is used for the Database design. The project work covered all the necessary details involved in designing the Online exam hall allocation system. The web-based application is aimed at allocating halls only to students and keeping record in a database. The methodology focused on the study area, system design analysis, review of proposed system and architecture of the system. Other method of information generation adopted includes relevant literatures (such as textbooks.) and surfing the Internet, the concerned with presentation of the implementation, the different views of the scheduling on computer system. Therefore, this project if implemented will replace the manual method of exam hall allocation in department of computer science and enhance the process of hall allocation also, would address the problems of the existing system paper based outlined earlier.
