ABSTRACT

This study focused on application of ground penetrating radar (GPR) determination of soil strata,  and water table in University Of Calabar Farm. It reveals how (GPR) can be used to determine the water table and soil strata.This study also reveals that (GPR) methods hold promise for improved characteristics and monitoring of the subsurface. This study will review several case studies where (GPR) have successfully been used for a variety of environment and precision Agricultural investigation.
