Evaluation of aquifer characteristics were carried out for evaluation of groundwater.in and around Kadiri schist belt. The study area comprises mainly acid volcanics represented by rhyolites, rhyodacite, and quartz-sericite schist with subordinate basic volcanics (amphibolites),and is enveloped on all sides by granitoids of peninsular gneissic complex. Evaluation of hydraulic properties of aquifer is one of the important aspects of groundwater assessment of rate of movement of water through an area is a function of the hydraulic properties of the aquifers. Further hydraulic properties like Transmissibility, Storage Coefficient and Specific Capacity were conducted in different locations of the study area.Pumping tests carried out by different methods are used to classify poor, moderate and good aquifer condition.
