A Geophysical Survey to Investigate Aquifers Contamination by Graveyards

M-08 A GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY TO INVESTIGATE AQUIFERS CONTAMINATION BY GRAVEYARDS Abstract 1 Some graveyards are installed in Quaternary high porous and permeable rocks. In such geological environments and when the water table is close to the surface there is a strong possibility that local shallow aquifers can be contaminated. Such contamination should be complex as organic and inorganic pollutants must be present. Geophysics has been used succefully to investigate aquifers contamination by industrial sources but little is known about its use in aquifers contamination by graveyards. Therefore Geophysical studies have been carried out in the vicinity of two graveyards installed
