ABSTRACT
Human activity produces wastes that contaminate and cause continuous devastation of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water, and soil. This study focused on implementation of Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) for the investigation of leachate plume in waste disposal site at Otofure in Ovia north-east local government area of Edo state. Leachate is a polluting liquid which may cause harmful effects on human health or the environment without a tight control manner. To detect
the leachate migration in the Otofure landfill, the measurement of electrical resistivity
tomography (ERT) was carried out. The survey…
