Abstract Integrated geophysical investigation involving 1D vertical electrical sounding and 2D electrical resistivity tomography was carried out in the Precambrian Basement Complex terrain of Modomo, SW Nigeria, with challenges of groundwater development. The objective was to use the geoelectric parameters to characterize the study area into groundwater potential zones that would assist the siting of productive wells/boreholes. Thin (generally  ρ2
