This study focuses on evaluating the groundwater potential in Pompo Village, Gidan Kwano, Minna, through the application of Vertical Electrical Resistivity Sounding (VERS) technique. Groundwater availability and accessibility are vital for sustaining rural communities, and the VERS method offers a non-invasive approach to understanding subsurface geological structures. By analyzing the electrical resistivity variations in the subsurface, this study aims to delineate potential aquifer zones, depth to water table, and lithological variations. The findings provide essential information for informed water resource management and sustainable development in the study area.
