The study of using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) interpreted results to delineate geo electric layers and subsequent mapping the occurrence of groundwater has been made possible in the study area. This research is based on VES modeled geo electric layers compared from point to point to establish the possible water tables and thus general groundwater occurrence. The AGI Earth Imager ID inversion automated computer program was used to achieve inversion of each VES curve was obtained and resistivities and thicknesses of a geo electric model were estimated. The analyzed VES data interpretation was achieved by curve matching technique which resulted in mapping the subsurface of the area which portray H-type; ρ1> ρ2 <ρ3, K-type; ρ1< ρ2>ρ3, A-type; ρ1<ρ2<ρ3, Q-type; ρ1>ρ2>ρ3, representing 3-Layer subsurface and subsequently a combination of KH types of curves representing 4-Layer in the subsurface. The shallow aquifer as from the inverted VRES data, has its water table starting from 4.406 to 8.607 metres deep and this incidentally serves the shallow wells in the area. This layer is represented by resistivities of between 12.9 Ohm-m to 99.5 Ohm-m. The second aquifer starts at a depth of 33.163 metres and this, points to the aquifer tapped by boreholes drilled in the study area.
