The aim is to evaluate the groundwater potential and subsurface hydrological conditions in Takum Metropolis.
Conducted vertical electrical sounding at twelve electrode stations using Schlumberger design.
Measured depth-dependent resistivity variations for groundwater investigation.
Utilized software programs Interpex IX1-D and Surfer 12 for data analysis.
Produced iso-resistivity maps for depths of 70m and 100m.
Identified Q-type and H-type curve types, with H-type representing 91.7%.
Found water-bearing zones characterized by silty and fractured materials.
Measured resistivity ranges from 15-7463 Ωm across various subsurface layers.
Two VES points exhibited excellent capacity for protecting against overburden.
