Characterization of Aquifer Parameters from Pumping Test Data in Part of Mubi Adamawa State – Nigeria
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Hydrogeological parameters in part of crystalline basement rock terrain were characterized using pumping test data.Five boreholes were used in this study for the evaluation of transmissivity (T), hydraulic conductivity (K) and specific capacity (Sc) of the study area.The transmissivity values obtained from the five boreholes shows that the aquifer potentiality of the study area varies from weak to high potential with an average value of 209.21m 2 /day, which signifies a moderate aquifer potential condition for the study area.The values of the hydraulic conductivity obtained shows that the aquifer is typical of clean sand (fine and coarse) and gravels.The result of the specific capacity obtained from the present study show that the aquifer in the study area is an unconfined aquifer.
