Hydrogeology Aquifer Vertical Electrical Sounding Instrument VES Terrameter Geoelectric Section Electrical Resistivity Investigation Meter 

Electrical exploration methods may be subdivided into two main groups. One group is concerned with measurement of resistivity, or conductivity, of rocks; the other group is concerned with measurement of their capacitance. The galvanic, induction, magneto-telluric, and telluric methods belong to the first group, and the induced polarization methods belong to the second group.

 All resistivity methods can be applied for studying variations of resistivity with depth (depth sounding methods) or for studying lateral changes in resistivity (horizontal profiling methods). The vertical electrical resistivity sounding methods (VES) are depth sounding galvanic methods




Main Characteristic:

Geoelectrical investigations were carried out usually to delineate geology. Geoelectrical resistivity techniques have been extensively used in groundwater investigations all over the world. However, in recent times these studies are also being used to alleviate groundwater quality.The literature available on electrical resistivity prospecting has been described by several authors . The electrical resistivity method can be best employed to estimate the thickness of overburden and also the thickness of weathered/fractured zones with reasonable accuracy. Though both Wenner and Schlumberger electrode configuration methods are popularly employed, the Schlumberger electrode configuration method is more suited to the study area, ensuring better results. The method has practical, operational and interpretational advantages over other methods such as the Wenner method of electrode arrangement
