摘要：In this study, a total of 36 Vertical Electrical Sounding Stations were occupied using Schlumberger electrodes configuration. An ABEM SAS 300c Terra-meter was used for the Collection of data in the evaluation of Groundwater Potential in Ambursa, modern market, Birnin Kebbi. Data obtained from the field was analysed using Ipi2win and Surfer 12 which gave the interpretation of the resistivity data. Sounding curves obtained from the study area revealed four geo-electric layers, they are slightly thick ironstone and brown clay having the resistivity value ranging from (0.000114Ω m to 877Ω m) with coarse sand/sand stone having resistivity range of (0.000114Ωm to 14179Ω m), underlain with thick sand stone with resistivity (0.285Ω m to 2187Ω m) layering on weathered or fractured zone laterite having resistivity value from (1.03Ωm to3003Ωm), Six curve types have been identified within the study area. These are HK, KQ, QH, AK, KH, and HA, the HK is the predominant, the results showed that the aquifer lie within the intermediate sand stone. The groundwater potential of the area is classified into high, medium and low groundwater potential zone, high groundwater potential zones were found at VES 2, 6, 7 , 8 , 9, 11, 12, 13, 18, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, and 36 while VES 3, 4, 5, 17, 22, 23, 24, 25, has the medium ground water potential more over VES 1, 10, 14, 15, 16, 19, 27 and 35 has the lowest groundwater potentials.
