ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effectiveness of ERI as a tool for identifying high erodibility soil. Electrical resistivity is a nondestructive, rapid, and cost-effective methodology. 2-D survey of a part of University of Benin (block of flat) has been carried out successfully and this research has helped in providing information about the Soil parameters such as median grain size, percent of fines, and water content used to quantify the erosion. The measured ER values varied from 6 to 3280 Ωm for profile 1 and 2 respectively. The resistivity values less than 400 ohm-m showed that slightly fractured rocks intermixed with clay. This rock is poorly saturated. The clay sand present in the study area appears to be competent, with resistivity value more than 800 ohm-m.
