Geohydraulic parameters, namely hydraulic conductivity (K), transmissivity (T), effective porosity (φ), permeability (kp), anisotropy coefficient (λ), and longitudinal conductance (S), of aquifer units in Etioro-Akoko, southwestern Nigeria, were evaluated using the Schlumberger vertical electrical sounding (VES) technique. This study aimed to understand the hydrodynamics and water–rock interaction of the near-surface crustal architecture to determine the groundwater yield and vulnerability of the aquifer units in the study area. A total of 7 model curve types were generated for fifty-two geoelectrical surveyed points, with percentage distributions in the order of HA>AA>H>KH>A>HK>AK. The VES curve models constrained the subsurface layers into topsoil, weathered units, weathered/fractured bedrock units, and fresh bedrock. The weathered and fractured aquifer zones occurred at the depths of 8 m and>16 m (with depths exceeding 26.5 m for some sections). The K and T values for the aquifer units varied from 0.1901 to 0.6188 m/day and 0.7111 to 6.3525 m2/day, respectively. These parameters coupled with the aquifer φ (18.03–23.35%) and kp (0.028–0.089 µm2) classified the delineated aquifer units as low to moderate groundwater-yielding capacity aquifers, with recorded resistivity values between 85.1 Ω-m and<613.0 Ω-m. The observed positive correlations and R2 values with>32–100% prediction rates affirmed the dependence of K on T, φ, and kp for effective water–rock interactions and groundwater transmissibility. The recorded S values (0.0146–0.162 mhos) and low logarithm hydraulic resistance, Log C (0.89–1.75 years), suggested poor to weak aquifer protective capacity ratings, resulting in high aquifer vulnerability index delineated across the study area. As a result, deep-weathered/fractured aquifers should be exploited for sustainable potable groundwater supplies. However, intended wells/boreholes in the study area must be developed properly for long-term groundwater abstraction to alleviate potable groundwater deficit and optimize future operational drilling costs.

In water-rich mines, water conservancy, and hydropower projects, the rock mass is immersed in water for a long time, which leads to changes in its mechanical properties and affects the safety and stability of the engineering rock mass. Based on the long-term immersion of rock mass with intermittent joints by water, uniaxial compression tests were carried out on prefabricated intermittent jointed sandstone with five inclinations (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) and three connectivity ratios (0.25, 0.50, 0.75) under different immersion times to study sandstone with intermittent joints’ mechanical response and deterioration mechanism. The research shows that: (1) With the increase of the joint inclination, the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the sandstone with intermittent joints first decreased and then increased, showing a U-shaped distribution. The compressive strength and elasticity of the sample with an inclination of 60° reach the minimum value; at the initial stage of immersion, the deterioration effect of the sample is more significant, and the deterioration effect decreases gradually with the increase in immersion time; in the initial stage of water immersion, the deterioration effect of the sample is more significant, and with the increase of the immersion time, the deterioration effect gradually weakens. (2) Immersion time and joint inclination have a great influence on the included angle, number, and mode of failure cracks. With the increase in immersion time, the plastic characteristics of the sample increase obviously, showing the characteristics of loose and weak; with the increase in joint inclination, the failure mode of the sample gradually changes from tension failure to tension shear failure, and tension failure. The influence degree of joints on failure is weak-induction-control-induction. (3) Under the water–rock action, the cement between mineral particles of the sample is gradually dissolved, the cementation of mineral particles is weakened, and the mineral particles develop into layered and fake structure, which gradually evolves from dense structure to porous loose structure. (4) The deterioration mechanism of the mechanical properties of the sandstone with intermittent joints under the water–rock action was analyzed from the perspectives of physics, chemistry, and mechanics. The deterioration of the mechanical properties of the sample is a process of gradual accumulation of damage.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) storage in deep saline aquifers has been lauded as one of the most efective techniques to mitigate greenhouse efects globally. Nevertheless, despite many investigations, clarifying the infuence of CO2–water–rock inter actions on the fracture characteristics of sandstone remains a challenge. In this work, the fracture properties of sandstone collected from the Triassic Xujiahe Formation are systematically studied in tests simulating CO2 sequestration. The results indicate that the water–rock interactions occur in a system of sandstone and CO2 solution. Due to the interactions, the poros ity of sandstone specimens slightly increases from 8.24 to 8.45% when immersed in CO2 solution and from 8.20 to 8.40% in pure water after 28 days. In addition, the parameters of fracture toughness, tensile strength, uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus are reduced by 24.12%, 27.16%, 31.78% and 33.21% after immersion in pure water, while they are reduced by 24.05%, 29.72%, 30.75% and 25.79% after immersion in CO2 solution, respectively. These results suggest that the mechanical properties of the Xujiahe sandstone deteriorate after soaking. The results also show that the critical fracture energy of sandstone specimens after immersion in the CO2 solution is 10.4% lower than that in pure water and 24.1% lower than that under natural drying conditions. These research results have great signifcance for understanding the dissolution processes during CO2 sequestration and their infuence on the fracture properties of sandstone, which may be theoretically instructive for CO2 storage in the Xujiahe Formation in the Sichuan Basin.
