Groundwater Exploration Using Advance Magneto Telluric (admt-600s-x) in Tsahuda Road Campus Adamawa State University Mubi, Adamawa State

Advance magneto-telluric (ADMT-600S-X) equipment used for this surveying is becoming more popular and common in Nigeria, this because the equipment is cheaper and user friendly when compared to other geophysical tools used for groundwater exploration. In this research, ADMT-600S-X was used and set to transmit signal into ground for the depth of 300 m for each and a horizontal distance on the ground to 100 m. In this regard electric current is sent into the ground to investigate the subsurface. The result of each profile are presented in 2D inversions which makes it easy to interpret in terms of electrical distribution and variation within the subsurface. Total of 20 profiles of Magneto – telluric data were investigated in Adamawa State University Tsahuda Road Campus and environs. This geophysical method is basically used in basement terrain which makes it easy and quickly delineate areas for groundwater exploration. The results obtained from profile shows that, out of the 20 profile 14 shows to potential profiles for Borehole drilling. This means that the study area has good groundwater potentials since majority of the profile gives a positive results. However, the potentials points shows that the depths to be drilled varies from 140 m to 200 m depending on the profile. If those points are drilled it is believe that groundwater problem in Tsahuda road campus would be a thing of the past.
