Groundwater occurrence of Wase and it’s environ, plateau state, central Nigeria, was carried out using the application of geology, hydrogeology and electrical resistivity method with the aim of correlating the groundwater potential of Wase Town. The study area is underlain by crystalline rock (granite) and sedimentary rocks (sandstone and shale). Eighteen (18) Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was conducted for geoelectrical resistivity measurements using Schlumberger array configuration. Six to four layers were delineated, top soil with resistivity values ranges from 28-4190 ?m with thickness of 0.5 to 2.1m, lateritic layer ranges from 80-800?m and thickness 1.4m to 21m; weathered basement (79-325?m) with thickness range from 6m to 14m; fractured basement (397-658?m) with thickness 5m to 20m and finally, fresh basement (700-2152?m) to infinity. Marrying geology, hydrogeology and geophysical methods, it can be concluded that the weathered and fractured basement forms the aquiferious unit in the area, as such depth to aquifer ranges between 35m and 70m and corresponding thickness between 6 and 20m.
