Abstract :
This study created a groundwater flow model
using Groundwater Modeling System (GMS) software
integrated with MODFLOW to create a steady-state
groundwater flow model for the Ibeju Lekki Local
Government Area of Lagos State. Aquifer parameters
(hydraulic conductivity, transmissibility), groundwater
recharge data (rainfall/climate, recharge rate),
topography, and a hydrogeological map were acquired
from both public and commercial organisations. The
contour of the head solution demonstrates that the
groundwater flow of the research region flows from the
north-east, where the value of the head is high, to the
south, where it also declines.The head expresses the
potential energy of the groundwater per unit weight and
thereby influences the direction of the groundwater flow.
