Abstract
Groundwater has been one of the major purest sources of water in the world. This is because the source is been stored in an aquifer beneath the earth’s surface. However, exploring this source require certain skills or techniques in order to ease the trauma experienced by the searcher. Over the years various geophysical techniques have been applied to explore this source but with little or no success due to the approach. In this research therefore, aeromagnetic and electrical resistivity techniques were integrated to explore this source in Dahomey basin, southwestern Nigeria. The result established that no single geophysical technique can be used for detailed geophysical studies of an area. But the combination of these geophysical techniques yields better result because they complement each other.
