Direct current (DC) resistivity soundings with Schlumberger arrays are utilized to map the vertical and horizontal distributions of resistivity in the area between the Pachang-chi and Tsengwen-chi, southern Taiwan. This makes it possible to map the paleo depo-and hydro-environment of the study area. In addition, the transverse resistance computed from the field sound ing data measured near the wells can be related to the transmissivity mea sured directly within the wells. An empirical relation between the tranverse resistance and transmissivity could thus be derived. The hydraulic param eters at the DC sounding locations without any well information could still be estimated from such empirical relationships. Thus, the locations of fresh groundwater zones and the.most promising sites for future drilling could be determined.Results of this study indicate that the DC resistivity method can be used to map the depositional process of the study area, and it can also be applied to predict the hydraulic parameters in locations without available well information in a recent alluvium covered area in southern Taiwan. This is of great benefit to the future management of groundwater in the study area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
