Application of Geoelectrical Resistivity Method for Groundwater Exploration Using Wenner-Schlumberger Configuration in Sampakang, Maros Regency, Indonesia

Geoelectrical Resistivity Imaging in Environmental Studies

A.P. Aizebeokhai ( ) Department of Physics, College of Science and Technology, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The presence of contaminants in the environment requires a precise characterization of the nature and extent of contamination for effective remediation. Conventional environmental monitoring has focused largely on point s...

An Evaluation of the Potential of the Geoelectrical Resistivity Method for Mapping Gas Migration in Landfills

Geoelectrical evidence of bicontinuum transport in groundwater

[1] Bicontinuum models and rate-limited mass transfer (RLMT) explain complex transport behavior (e.g., long tailing and rebound) in heterogeneous geologic media, but experimental verification is problematic because geochemical samples represent the mobile component of the pore space. Here, we present geophysical evidence of RLMT at the field scale during an aquifer-storage and recovery experime...

Detection and determination of groundwater contamination plume using time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method

Protection of water resources from contamination and detection of the contaminants and their treatments are among the essential issues in the management of water resources. In this work, the time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys were conducted along 7 longitudinal lines in the downstream of the Latian dam in Jajrood (Iran), in order to detect the contamination resulting fro...

Karstic water exploration using the Schlumberger VES and dipole–dipole resistivity profiling surveys in the Tepal area, west of Shahrood, Iran

The need for clean groundwater resources to have sustainable development in a country is undoubted. Due to the importance and high quality of karstic waters in supplying water in Iran especially in Shahrood city, it is attempted in this research work to recognize and explore karstic waters in southwest of Tepal area, Shahrood. For this purpose, integration of the results obtained from the metho...
