Abstract

Summary

This study aims to conduct a hydrological evaluation of the wells located after the dams to estimate the ground nutrition of it through the geoelectrical. four dams are selected. A study is conducted by using electrical resistivity imaging for the study of layers and knowing the resistivity of underground water through dams. Results are shown as follows a semi complete discontinuation of feeding the wells located after the concrete dam and the ground dam which is considered the foundation of cement bases of both of them to reach the base rocks. it has become impossible for the underground water to leak through the dam. as a result, the wells located after the dam are not fed with the underground water. Rockfill dams and the wells located after the dams are not greatly affected due to the penetration of the underground water through sediments under the dam, feeding the wells. We recommend that the concrete dam is periodically and constantly opened to feed the sites located after the dam to avoid the depletion of wells. However, damage of the ground dam is lesser than the concrete dam due to the complete smooth movement of the surface water.
