Abstract: Four moisture samples were obtained from the unsaturated zone profiles distributed in a typical plain area of Chad Lake basin to estimate the rainfed recharge based on the chloride (Cl) mass-balance method. The rainfed recharge results of the four sampling points (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4) are 4.9, 1.5, 7.9, and 26.2 mm/a respectively; That is, the rainfed recharge rate are only 0.72%, 0.22%, 1.17%, and 3.87% correspondingly. Based on the survey work, combined with field investigation and drilling, the reason for the small amount of rainfed recharge is that the infiltration water from the surface is mostly consumed in evapotranspiration in the surface soil or the interface between the clay layer and the aeolian sand layer, and eventually lost to the atmosphere. Undoubtedly, the research area is facing a serious problem of water resources depletion under its single recharge source of Hadejia River, which has been interrupt by local people so greatly that the amount of infiltration to groundwater has been decreasing.

Key words: Chad Lake basin, Nigeria, rainfed recharge, chloride (Cl) mass-balance method
