Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper presents results of groundwater investigations carried out at Yombo Dovya Village, Temeke District in Dar es Salaam Region. The study has included hydrogeological and geoelectric resistivity sounding survey data obtained at the test site in Yombo village. The results of this investigation based on the application of vertical electrical sounding probe predictions have indicated the existence of reasonable amounts of groundwater resource for development. To verify these results borehole drilling tests were also conducted at the same site (Borehole No. DSM 79/99), and the results obtained by this method compares very well with those obtained earlier by the resistivity sounding method. According to further analysis made the water was found to be within drinking standards and had a pH value of 6.5.
