Structural controls of groundwater flow in the Lugari-chekalini area, western Kenya

Abstract

This dissertation presenrs results on the movement of subsurface warer rhrough the crystalline rocks of Lugari-Chekalini area as controlled by the nature of [he aquifers and the paths available for rhe water to flow. The study was aimed ar investigating the conduits for water flow as controlled by' the rock structure resulting from the conracr between the Archean and Proterozoic-Palaeozoic groups of rocks. The impact of the geology and geological structures on the groundwater flow was established through a detailed field survey and sratistical analysis.
