This book assess the physical (atterberg), mineralogical (X-Ray Diffraction) and chemical properties (X-ray flourecence) of some clays in part of Bauchi and Gombe State, North Eastern Nigeria. After assessing physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics of the clays, they were compared with some standard industrial specifications determined which among them is suitable for application in each indutry.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Geology, Mineralogy, Soil Science, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: Water is one of the most important natural resources that man is endowed with. Water is next to air as a major sustainer of life in addition to serving as a vital substance for human existence. It plays a major role in progress of our life and National development. In Nigeria majority of the water used domestically in villages, towns and cities are from the ground water resources.Water quality comprises of knowing the Geology and hydrogeology and environmental of the area of interest. In studying the Geology of an area one has to know the different rock types that bear the water in that area and the structures associated with it. Hydrogeology is area of geology that deals with the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the earth¿s crust. It deals with flow of water through aquifers and other shallow porous media.The main aims and objectives of the study are as follows;1. Determine the ground water quality in the boreholes and hand dug wells in the area and its suitability for domestic and agricultural uses.2. To provide information for the use of organizations interested in ground water resource development in the area.3. To satisfy one of the requirements for the award of degree of Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in applied Geology at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University.
