As a structural engineer and researcher with a growing interest in environmental geotechnics and hydrogeology, I was honored to be invited as a peer reviewer for the Journal of Engineering Research and Reviews . The paper I reviewed, titled "Investigation of Groundwater Pollution Around Angwan Gwandara Dumpsite, Garaku Using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES)" , was an insightful exploration into the use of geophysical methods to detect groundwater contamination near a solid waste dumpsite. 🔍 About the Study The paper presented a field-based investigation employing Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) , a geophysical method used to assess subsurface resistivity variations — which are crucial for identifying zones affected by leachate contamination. The study area, Angwan Gwandara in Garaku , is known for improper waste disposal practices, making it a relevant site for this type of environmental research. 💡 Why This Research Matters As urban areas in developing regions con...
