Surface DC resistivity techniques have been used to investigate the subsoil characteristics around an abandoned dumpsite in Ido Osun, Southwestern Nigeria. The aim was to delineate groundwater contamination, identify lithologic layers, locate possible leachate plumes, and assess the risk of groundwater pollution. Schlumberger vertical electrical sounding (VES) and Dipole-dipole resistivity profiling data were acquired at 20 m and 10 m intervals respectively along three northwest-southeast geophysical traverses. The geoelectric sections revealed four probable subsurface geoelectric layers which were considered to be topsoil, laterite, weathered/fractured bedrock and competent/fresh bedrock based on previous works. The weathered/fractured bedrock forms the groundwater reservoir in the area as interpreted from the over 98% occurrence of H, KH geoelectric curve types. The dipole-dipole sections showed several distinct low resistivity zones which extends into the weathered/fractured bedrock. These were interpreted as probable contamination plumes beneath the dumpsite.
