Investigation of the Spatial Variation of Soil Resistivity and Conductivity in Ajibode Area, Ibadan
Keywords:
Electrical Resistivity, Wenner electrode array, soil conductivity, sandy soil, Ajibode.Abstract
Electrical resistivity method was carried out investigate spatial variation of soil resistivity and conductivity at a certain depth in Ajibode Area using Miller 400D resistance meters. Three locations were considered with a total of 178 data points.
It was observed that the absolute value of the resistivity obtained in location one is 6428.53
