Aplicação De Sondagens Elétricas Verticais No Estudo Da Contaminação Na Lixeira De Porto Velho (Ro)

This paper presents the results of the application of the electric resistivity geophysical method, by mean of vertical electrical sounding (Schlumberger configuration), were done at the waste <br>disposal area, in city of Porto Velho, State of Rondônia, Brazil with the objective to identify the contamination of underground at the waste disposal area. The local geology is constituted by<br>pleistocenic sediments (clay-sandy litology with lateritic concretionary) overlies granitic rocks of Santo Antônio Formation.
