Abstract: There exists an empirical rule to determine the likely presence of groundwater in a local Basement Complex geological province but there has not been an independent analytical approach to test this rule yet. Result from a 4km two-dimensional VES survey was analysed according to standard procedures and pseudosections along principal profiles were generated. From a handful of these pseudosections selected for this study, it is observed that the basis of this rule is true when aquifer delineation is aided by computer-assisted processing; thus, it is recommended that where the means to analyse VES data for small-scale surveys by computer software are not readily available, recourse to the “Geoexplore Empirical Standardisation for Minna Area” should be adopted when working in a Basement Complex province.
