Hydrogeophysical parameters of the ground play a vital role in heat transfer of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. Then, the investigation of the ground is necessary for the design and planning of GSHPs. This paper deals with investigations of Hydrogeophysical parameters of GSHP systems in Cameroon. Eighty-four drillings with the average deep of forty-seven meters have been performed in the Far North region of Cameroun in order to get hydrogeological and hydro geophysical characteristics of ground for shallow energy utilization. The results of geological study, vertical electrical sounding, pumping test, thermophysical properties, groundwater property and well data could help to understand better the heat transfer of borehole heat exchanger (BHE) and geo localization of potential GSHP in residentials of Logone et Chari, Cameroon. Closed systems of GSHP could be installed in the study area.
