Considerable increase in water demand to in many parts of sub-Sahara Africa poses a challenge for water managers to develop creative and cost-effective approaches in water resources exploration and management. Ilorin city, south western Nigeria is reflective of these needs the population growth rate have given rise to a considerable spike in water needs. Groundwater a hidden gem in the earth subsurface poses a veritable solution to meeting water needs and overall development of a country’s economy. However, understanding the dynamics of this resource pose a challenge hence the relative inefficient exploitation of its potentials in the sub region. Pump test of existing boreholes serves as a vehicle to understand and evaluate primal characteristics of groundwater system in view of e... view more»
