Abstract

Summary

The main objective of this study is to assess the potential groundwater zones by employing the electrical resistivity tomography technique. The field data collection was conducted using the Syscal pro switch-72 instrument. Dipole-Dipole, Schlumberger and Wenner-Schlumberger array configurations were utilized during the data acquisition process. Subsequently, the obtained field data was processed using the RES2DINV software, generating inverse model resistivity profiles. The generated profiles have a maximum depth of 36.9m, providing valuable information on the subsurface structures. Moreover, the expansion of the electrodes along the profiles reached a maximum distance of 175m. The resulting profiles provide valuable insights into the variations in lithology at different depths, including clay, boulder, sand, and clayed sand layers. These variations were cross-verified with the lithologs data obtained from borehole records. Additionally, the profiles indicate the possible presence of fracture depths, which serve as indicative markers for potential groundwater zones.
