Assessment of groundwater quality and soil properties in recharge and discharge areas of a basement environment.

This study examined the interaction between soil and groundwater in a recharge and discharge areas of Akungba-Akoko, Southwestern Nigeria. Ten water samples (R1-R5 from the recharge and D6-D10 from the discharge areas) and ten soil samples from trial pits were collected and analyzed for hydrochemical parameters (Ca, Mg, K, Na, Cl, SO, NO, PO, Fe, Zn, and Pb) and geotechnical investigation. Ten Schlumberger vertical electrical sounding (VES) were carried out to determine the subsurface resistivity distribution.
