Abstract
This study aims to investigate the groundwater potential and aquifer characteristics within the Federal University University Owerri (FUTO) and its environs in Owerri West, Imo State. The research involves application of geophysical methods, specifically vertical electrical sounding (VES), to determine the depth and resistivity of subsurface layers. The findings were analyzed using Zond software, which provided detailed resistivity profiles and stratigraphic interpretations. The results highlighted significant variations in aquifer depths and properties, essential for effective groundwater management. The study contributes to the understanding of the groundwater system in the area and supports informed decision-making for water resource development and management.
