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.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In recent times, the GPR is fast becoming the preferred method in geophysical methods used in hydrological studies. It is an electromagnetic method that detects interfaces between subsurface materials with differences in dielectric constants. The GPR measures changes in the electromagnetic properties of sediments that cause reflection of electromagnetic energy.
