“…Groundwater pollution is anticipatory in most developing countries as a result of increased anthropogenic activities apart from possible natural pollutants (Talabi and Kayode, 2019;Bon et al, 2021). Often, hydrochemical processes, nature of the aquifer media and high precipitation will influence the interplay (Oyedele et al, 2019;Popoola et al, 2020;Lachassagne et al, 2021). Human activities often trigger surface pollution and gradually affect the subsurface, including groundwater (Zahra & Putranto, 2021).…”

Hydrostatic level sampling, geo-referencing and Geographic Information System were employed to delineate the major groundwater recharge / discharge zones, the groundwater flow direction and the groundwater divides in Ado-Ekiti metropolis with the objective of groundwater resource protection. Static water level measurements were made from 108 hand – dug wells evenly distributed on a regional basis. The latitudes, longitudes and elevations above mean sea level of the well points were measured using the Global Positioning System. A mean value of 5.84 ± 2.35 m above mean sea level was observed for the depths to the static water level with a mean value of 408.27 ± 46.06 m above mean sea level for the groundwater head. The contour maps obtained enabled the delineation of the major groundwater recharge / discharge zones, the groundwater flow direction and the groundwater divides with the regional tendency of the underground flow approximately lying along the Northwest – Southeast direction and groundwater divides along the South – Eastern/ South – Western axes of the Central portion. Strict environmental ethics must be enforced around the groundwater recharge / discharge zones and flow directions in order to avoid groundwater contamination.

“…The south-western Nigeria is underlain by widespread occurrence of about 80% impermeable crystalline rocks which makes groundwater exploitation challenging and limits groundwater availability [48]. However, studies have shown that storage and transmission of groundwater is greatly influenced by local and regional fractures [3,59] which may be associated with zones of high permeability and concentrated groundwater flow [14,18,26].…”

“…This is with a view to suggesting sustainable groundwater abstraction in the region. The interpretation involves multi-thematic synthesis [4,16,23,48,51] of structural elements and aquifer parameters based on analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) [6,48,50,54]. This study could form part of the effort to providing for sustainable management of The topography ranges from gentle to steep with ground elevation between 310 and 687 m above sea level and characterized by hills and valleys of varying heights.…”

Interpretation of geophysical and GIS-based remote sensing data for sustainable groundwater resource management in the basement of north-eastern Osun State, Nigeria

This study describes the interpretation of integrated GIS-based remote sensing and electrical resistivity geophysical methods as part of the need to provide groundwater overview for sustainable management in the basement of northeastern Osun State, Nigeria. Six groundwater conditioning factors are synthesized based on the analytical hierarchy process and multi-criteria decision analysis to produce groundwater potential index map constrained by existing borehole yields. The results indicate that the estimated groundwater potential index map can serve as a gross predictor of the groundwater distribution in the region. This study may influence town planning and land use decisions for sustainable management of groundwater resource in the area.
