Geoelectrical investigations were carried out usually to delineate geology. Geoelectrical resistivity techniques have
been extensively used in groundwater investigations all over the world[1,2]. However, in recent times these studies
are also being used to alleviate groundwater quality[3,4,5].The literature available on electrical resistivity
prospecting has been described by several authors [6,7,8]. The electrical resistivity method can be best employed to
estimate the thickness of overburden and also the thickness of weathered/fractured zones with reasonable accuracy.
Though both Wenner and Schlumberger electrode configuration methods are popularly employed, the Schlumberger
electrode configuration method is more suited to the study area, ensuring better results. The method has practical,
operational and interpretational advantages over other methods such as the Wenner method of electrode arrangement
