    Abstract: Groundwater is an important source for Nigerian water balance. Therefore assessing its experimental evidence supporting saltwater intrusion is necessary before initiating developmental plans using this resources. In this research, the extent of saltwater intrusion, physiochemical properties of groundwater samples and suitability was experimented in... Show More

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the functioning of the aquifer system and springs in the Pala basin through hydrochemical and isotopic analyses. Thirteen samples were analyzed, including two rainwater samples, three spring samples and eight borehole samples. The stable isotopic composition (2H and 18O) of rainwater shows... Show More
