The need to overcome the scarcity of water at premises of Yusuf Maitama Sule University Kano Nigeria is highly needed. Induced Polarization (IP) and Spontaneous Potential (SP) methods using Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) technique were employed. Six soil and Seven water samples were analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The area identified with features of ground water accumulation were at lat. 12.0020 N to 12.0080 N & Long. 8.4650 E to 8.46750 E, lat. 12.000 N, to 12.0050 N & long. 8.470 E, 8.47250 E, lat. 12.0050 N to 12.010 N.& long. 8.4820 E to 8.490 E and lat. 12.010 N to 12.0150 N and long. 8.4600 E to 8.470 E with corresponding depths of 50 m, 48 m, 52 m and 45 m respectively. Level of contamination of underground water and soils in the study area were majorly below permissible level.
