Abstract: In mining, the unwatering of the aquiferous formations and the control of these last imply a good knowledge of local geology and a perfect approach of the hydrological factors which condition the mode of subsoil waters (supply of water in aquifers, fluctuation of the piezometric levels, etc). This approach will concentrate on the morphometric study of the catchment area of the Kinsenda river; the determination of the characteristics of relief and itshydrographic network. The morphometric, hydrographic and hypsometric study from the catchment area of the Kinsenda river brought out the following elements......

Abstract: This study developed a model for determining the shear strength of lateritic soils in a Banded Gneiss geologic unit. This was with a view to determining the effects of index properties and geology on the shear strength of selected soils. Lateritic soil samples were collected from selected locations within the Banded Gneiss geologic unit of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) campus, Ile-Ife, Southwestern Nigeria. Soil samples were subjected to laboratory analyses for index and other geotechnical properties relevant in the determination of shear strength. Relationships between shear strength and index properties were determined by developing and validating Multivariable Least......

Abstract: The study area is part of the Jos Plateau, where extensive mining of cassiterite - columbite took place for a period of 70 years. This is evident with mine ponds, pits and dams scattered within it, of which most have become water reservoirs for domestic, irrigation and industrial purposes. Of much concern is the prevalent occurrences of cancers of various types, skin and kidney diseases and so on amongst the inhabitants living around these mine sites. This research work seeks to understand the heavy metal contamination in the surface and groundwater resources; and its far-reaching impacts on human health. The hydrochemical investigations were conducted with the main aim of discovering the source(s) of heavy metal concentration and also to identify the principal pollutants in the water resources......
