vodonosni slojevi - water-bearing strata
vodonosno zemljište - water-bearing ground

The bore in open wells may be of two types, according to whether they tap the water-bearing medium through a cavity formed below a hard impermeable strata or through strainer or screens provided opposite the water-bearing stratum/strata (Figs. 3.3 and 3.4).”

The geo-electric section shows that the layer with a resistivity of 320Ωm at Asaba is water bearing. Thus, the aquifer at Asaba is within 35m from the surface (Fig. 5). At Ibusa, the third layer with resistivity value of 250Ωm consists of fine to medium grain sand. Water bearing medium may be encountered at 60m to 70m but the first aquifer may be struck at about 100 to130m. At Ogwashi-uku and Ubulu-Uku, viable aquifer is struck at depths above 140m to 180m. These are in agreement with available borehole records (Fig 5).”
