Abstract:Geoelectrical sounding and physicochemical analyses were conducted on the topsoil underlying Osupa area in Ogbomoso, south western Nigeria to evaluate the soil corrosivity on the metallic water pipelines across the area. Schlumberger electrical resistivity soundings were conducted at 24 stations with electrode spacing varied from 1 to 100 m. The resistivity data were interpreted by using partial curve matching and computer-aided 1D inversion. Physicochemical analyses were also conducted on soil samples collect… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
