Goronyo Dam and its Integrity from Geophysical Studies

The research was able to discovered that the regions were made of four (4) stratigraphic layers namely; Wet Sandy Soil Clayey Sand Laterite and Partially Weathered Basement Complex Rock. It also identified the eight (8) regions of weak zones in the area of investigation. These are; 120m to 200m (Profile 1) 250m to 400m (Profile 1) 164m to 199m (Profile 2) 306m to 400m (Profile 2) 1m to 156m (Profile 3) 192m to 400m (Profile 3) 48m to 200m (Profile 4) and 7m to 170m (Profile 5) with corresponding maximum depths of 30m 30m 28m 30m 28m 30m 28m and 26m.Lastly from these eight regions five of them were identified to be have concealed channels of water seepage. They are; 250m to 400m (Profile 1) 306m to 400m (Profile 2) 192m to 400m (Profile 3) 48m to 200m (Profile 4) and 7m to 170m (Profile 5) with corresponding maximum depths of 30m 28m 28m 30m and 26m respectively.
