Determination Of Hydraulic Aquifer Characteristics From Resistivity Sounding Parameters

Geophysical techniques, and geoelectrical techniques in<br>particular, have been employed in geohydrological studies for<br>many years. Apart from determining layer thicknesses and<br>resistivities, and linear features with which ground water is<br>often associated, geoelectrical parameters can also be applied to<br>approximate geohydrological parameters such as hydraulic<br>conductivity, porosity, transmissivity, specific capacity, etc.<br>The geohydrological parameters are traditionally derived from<br>pumping tests and are expensive and time consuming.
