Abstract: Geophysical site investigation for sitting a viable point for ground water exploration was carried out at Ndiechi in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. Electrical resistivity approach as a geophysical method was adopted with Schlumberger configuration for depth or vertical electrical sounding to delineate basement weak zone and lithologic depth respectively. Five points were examined using sounding. The least resistive point was further sounded for better vertical resolution and clarity. The curve type encountered in the study is the KH-curve type, which is a good indicative curve for groundwater exploration. The obtained sounding parameter suitably established the overburden depth of 1.5m.
