Abstract
Aquifer geohydraulic properties in Jesse were studied by the application of vertical electrical sounding (VES) and pumping test. The VES data was collected using ABEM SAS 1000 Terrameter and results processed using manual matching of curves and computer iteration, and interpreted in the forms of geologic models and geoelectric layers. The aquiferous unit was found at a depth of 5.30 m to 30.30 m with a range of resistivity from 87.30 Ω-m to 1945.40 Ω-m. Dar-Zarrouk arameters estimation and results of borehole pumping test produced the aquifer hydraulic parameters. The hydraulic conductivity values range from8.171 - 8.279 m/day, transmissivity from 43.8770 - 517.7480 m2/day, and formation factor from 0.369 - 8.501. These results are indications of a prolific and high yielding aquifer capable of withstanding long duration of pumping. Results of groundwater electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids ranged from 11.65 - 198.80 μs/cm, and 29.40 - 35.40 mg/dm3 respectively, signifying very moderate mineralization of the groundwater. The average electrical conductivity of 68.04 μS /cm and total dissolved solids of 32.58 mg/L were lesser than the acceptable limits of the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) of 1000 μS/cm and 500 mg/L respectively. This study affirmed that the aquifer in Jesse is suitable for groundwater exploitation for local and regional purposes.

Key words: Formation Factor; Hydraulic Conductivity; Transmissivity; Total Dissolved Solids; VES
