Geo-resistivity data set for groundwater aquifer exploration in the basement complex terrain of Nigeria, West Africa.

ABSTRACT: To delineate prolific groundwater aquifers in the basement complex terrain of Ilorin, Nigeria, West Africa, a carefully designed Electrical Resistivity Surveys were undertaken at eighty-five (85) stations using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) technique with Schlumberger array. Data acquisition system comprised SAS 3000 ABEM Resistivity Meter, a D. C. battery, four metallic electrodes, electrical cables, portable Geographic Positioning System (GPS), hammers, measuring tapes, and other accessories. In addition to the resistivity data, the geographic coordinates of the survey points were measured for ease of geo-referencing of the exact points where the data were collected and for secondary use of the data. The data acquired were processed, analysed and interpreted using auxiliary curve ma
