WATER SYSTEM RESEARCH

Groundwater exploration is the investigation of underground formations to understand the hydrologic cycle,to know the groundwater quality, and to identify the nature, number and type of aquifers. There are different groundwater exploration methods. Surface geophysical method is one of them. This method  provides valuable information regarding the vertical successions of subsurface geo-materials in terms of their individual thicknesses and corresponding resistivity values. It is rapid and much effective in estimating aquifer thickness of an area. However hydrogeological and geological investigations were also incorporated in addition to the geophysical surveying activities for the betterment of the project. Finally, the intended well site locations with their corresponding thickness and resistivity values were identified using the integrated approaches.
