Detection of Groundwater Table by Using Ground Penetrating Radar in Two Selected Sites/Northern Iraq

Abstract A non-damaging geophysical measurement technique test method ground penetrating radar (GPR) was carried out successfully in two sites the middle and north of Iraq order to investigate feasibility detecting shallow underground water level both selected sites. The results show that groundwater depths Baiji site were between 0.95m, 1.2m, while Hammam AL-Aleel 1.0m 1.1m near river. It also noticed GPR image showed appearances dramatically clear dissolving features sometimes coincide with which approximately about 4m depth west Northern Thermal Power Plant (NTPP), due existence Fatha formation; east (NTPP) there no solubility absence formation presence quaternary coarse sediments. This has been proved be an effective detection for can serve as a reference future application using dependent physical property permittivity conductivity engineering investigation, hydrogeological investigations, subsurface cavities.
