Vertical Electrical soundings and profiling have proved to be valuable tools in prospecting for geothermal energy in many countries. Three principal variations of direct current methods have found use in geothermal energy exploration, though there have been controversies in the literature over the relative merits of these techniques. The selected area Total thickness of the area (h1) ranges between 1 mtr to 82 mtr, average value is 3 mtr, (h2) ranges between 1 mtr to 201 mtr, average value is 15 mtr, (h3) ranges between 0 mtr to 207 mtr, average value is 51 mtr, (H) ranges between 0 mtr to 210 mtr, average value is 72 mtr, Apparent Resistivity of the area at 25 mtr ranges between 0 to 382 mtr and average value of the area is 115 mtr, at 100 mtr ranges between 65 to 961 mtr and average value of the area is 299 mtr, at 200 mtr ranges between 0 to 1510 mtr and average value of the area is 512 mtr.
