The groundwaterpotential of the study area wasevaluated based on maps (i.e. overburdenthickness, anisotropic coefficient,weathered layer isothickness, weatheredlayer isoresistivity, transverseresistance and bedrock relief maps)generated from the VES interpretationresults. The characteristic geoelectricparameters enabled the groundwaterpotential rating at each VES location.These maps are as presented below.Overburden Thickness Isopach MapThe depth to the basement (overburdenthickness) beneath the sounding stationswere plotted and contoured at 1minterval as shown in figure 4. This wasdone to enable a general view of theaquifer geometry of the surveyed area.The overburden is assumed to includethe topsoil, the lateritic horizon and theclay/weathered rock. The values rangefrom 4.4 m to 21.1 m. Areas with thickoverburden corresponding to basement<strong>RMZ</strong>-M&G 2012, 59
