The Sting Resistivity/IP meter was used to acquire the data while the 1D Earth Imager iterative software was used to process the acquired data. With borehole information as control, the interpretation revealed the subsurface geology of the study area in succession of four subsurface resistivity layers. With the equivalent geologic layers that suggest the weathered and the underlain fractured basement as the aquiferous layers, sites that will provide appreciable volume of water were suggested base on vertical and lateral extent of the aquiferous layers.
