چکیده

The data acquired and interpreted across the sixty (60) VES points of study was used to evaluate agricultural viability land. terrain is underlain by four five geologic layers comprised topsoil (of average resistivity 320Ωm), which heart activities. soil conductivity evaluated from first three with an value 3.13, 0.49 7.5 for first, second third respectively, all measured in milliSiemens per meter (mS/m). This implies high water content (SWC) major factor that affects crop growth. However, impermeable clay layer between saturated zone could resist groundwater movement penetration roots down soil, suggest a poor environment growth due its SWC, 2m depth good enough crops presence it has advantage ability infiltration subsurface contaminants thereby increasing protective capacity area aquifer.
