Abstract: Logo Area has a complex hydrogeological terrain resulting from its geology which comprises basement complex and low permeability Cretaceous sediments of Middle Benue Trough of Nigeria. This work was targeted at evaluating the groundwater potential of the study is a using pumping test data. Constant rate pumping test with single well was carried out in twenty boreholes at selected locations. The transmissivity values were computed from the pumping test data using Cooper and Jacob [1] Method and analyzed through descriptive statistical testing and Krasny Transmissivity Classification Scheme (KTCS) for the determination of Transmissivity variations and spatial distribution of the groundwater supply potential of the area.
