ABSTRACT: Background: 2D resistivity imaging was conducted around major depressions of a rocky terrain located within the western part of Adekunle Ajasin University Campus, Akungba-Akoko, Southwestern Nigeria. The study was aimed at mapping and identifying subsurface layers and discontinuities such as aquifer structures or geological interfaces for groundwater prospects.
