Contamination from landfills as a result of leaching from organic and inorganic waste poses a threat to the environment because, subsoil and groundwater are affected. The contamination is more serious in developing countries where waste management is inefficient. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of pollution at this site. Three pro...

The renewed interest in the reactivation of the defunct National Konongo Gold Mine located in the Ashanti Greenstone Belt, calls for a further probe into its geology and the associated mineral hosting structures to discover its mineralization potential. In order to achieve this, airborne magnetic, radiometric and electromagnetic datasets were inter...

Lack of access to potable and adequate water is a major problem for sustaina�ble development in northern Ghana. Developing groundwater resource is the best option for safe, reliable, and cost-efficient water supplies to these dis�persed communities. In this study, nine 2D ERI profiles were carried out with the Schlumberger array in eight communiti...

The discovery of oil in commercial quantity in Ghana has led to increase in infrastructural development to provide the needed services to the oil industry. The siting of these industries requires the characterization of the subsurface to determine its suitability to host these facilities. It is in this line that seismic refraction and geo-elect...

Electromagnetic (EM) profiling and Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) of electrical resistivity method have been employed to explore for groundwater in the Kintampo-North Municipality in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. The EM profiling data were obtained with GEONICS EM 34-3 equipment at 20 m intervals along 20 profiles of length ranging between 7...

2-D CVES surveys using the Wenner configuration was carried out in 22 communities in the Tain District, Ghana. This was done with the objectives of assessing the subsurface geology, identify high groundwater potential zones for drilling high-yielding boreholes that could yield sustainable amount of groundwater. The collected resistivity data were c...

A suspected old royal cemetery has been surveyed at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus, Kumasi, Ghana using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) with the objective of detecting graves in order to make informed decisions with regard to the future use of the area. The survey was conducted on a 10,000 m2 area. Con...

Airborne magnetic and radiometric datasets are used to interpret the geology and geological structural patterns which serve as potential gold mineralization zones in the Kyerano area located at southwestern boundary of the prospective Sefwi Gold Belt and the Kumasi Basin in southwestern Ghana. The geophysical data processing approach adopted concen...

The Gushiegu-Karaga District is one of the most deprived areas in the Northern Region of Ghana in terms of water supply. Only about 15% of the population have access to potable water, and has a chronic water supply problem. In an attempt to improve the water supply situation the Ghana Rural Water Project (GRWP) of the World Vision initiated Conrad-...
