Abstract
The reliability of electrical resistivity measurements to delineate subsurface total dissolved solid (TDS) in
groundwater in Lagos, Nigeria, has been examined. Data from parametric resistivity soundings were
correlated with laboratory measurements to provide information on the degree of total salinity of each
aquiferous unit, depths to iso-conductivity surfaces and the various usage to which the groundwater from
the studied area can be put to. The study revealed that TDS contrasts inferred from resistivity data can be
used for effective monitoring and economic evaluation of groundwater salination.
