The geophysical interpretation revealed four to five geo-electric layers corresponding to lithologic units （1） topsoil from 0-2 m with a resistivity value of 〈 100-320 ohm-m, （2） weathered/slightly weathered basalt fi＇om 0.6 m to 20 m characterized by resistivity value of 27-130 ohm-m, followed by （3） basalt/fractured basalts with resistivity value of 130-400 ohm-m and （4） the basement rocks with resistivity value 〉 320 ohm-m to 3,021 ohm-m. Exploratory borehole drilling encountered a series of lithologic units viz： overburden （clay, silt and sand） weathered basalt, slightly weathered basalt, fresh/fractured basalts, weathered migmatite and migmatites/migmatite gneiss. Exploratory core analysis in terms of CR （core recovery） and RQD （rock quality designation） revealed an average of 70%-90% and 75%-90%, respectively. Lugeon test gave Lugeon values of 1-5 for the ten core holes. However, fractures with Lugeon value from 〉 5-15 lugeon were encountered on borehole numbers BH 1, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Grouting is recommended to seal this shallow to medium depth （0-15 m） fractures to reduce or eliminate possible seepage when the dam is constructed. The rock mass index grading for the dam axis ranges from good to excellent.展开更多
