“…Vertical electrical sounding (VES) is a technique which has been used in various lithological settings successfully [20][21][22]. The VES method is useful to study groundwater conditions and to evaluate the subsurface layers [23,24]. Many researchers have evaluated aquifer parameters using the resistivity method [6,9,25].…”

Abstract:In order to determine the ground water resources and potentials of the Khanewal District of Pakistan, a geophysical method in combination with pumping test data were used. An analytical relationship between the aquifer parameters interpreted from surface geoelectrical method and pumping test was established in order to estimate aquifer parameters from surface measurements where no pumping tests exist. For the said purpose, 48 geoelectric investigations were carried out using Schlumberger vertical electrical sounding (VES). Seven of the soundings were conducted where pumping tests had been carried out at borehole sites. The vertical electrical sounding stations were interpreted, and resistivities and thickness parameters were calculated.

“…The main objective of the investigation is to delineate the subsurface lithology and to assess the groundwater resources of the sub watershed. It's also aim to focus on the identification of fracture zone and its thickness by using VES (Vertical Electrical Sounding) method [9,10]. The exploration of buried underground resources, cannot be rely on geological information have to inevitably somehow the works of designing of these resources appear on the ground.…”

Kivi Plainis located in the northeastern city of Kiviin Ardabil province. Due to the large number of villages in the desert and its people engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, Study of ground water to determination of the optimal location of wells is important. In this regard, geoelectric technique was used for studies of groundwater quality and quantity of Kivi plain.In this research, the resolution of the subsurface layers, detection of saturated zone, determination of basement, detection of the general direction of groundwater and changes of resistivity in sounding points and profiles have been studied.The number of 196 vertical electrical sounding on nine profiles and the number of 9 sounding in variety points and in vicinity of exploratory wells by schlumberger array in the study area have been taken. "IPI2win" software is used for the interpretation of vertical electrical sounding curves and one-dimensional modeling. By "Res2dinv", twodimensional modeling and preparation of resistivity section have been taken. According to the results of the interpretation of the data in the study area, sediments inparts of the Middle East and Northern have developed, and from the surface to the depth of alluvium and marl deposits were included. More aquifer layers in marly sand deposits, silt and sand, crushed limestone and salty zones were observed. Basement is included most of marl (with the layers of sandstone and conglomerate), limestone and silt. According to the basement, the topography slope of the area and isopiezecurves, groundwater movement is toward the northeast.

“…The VES survey technique has also been used effectively for the study of groundwater conditions, assessment of the sub-surface geoelectrical layers, thickness and depth of water bearing formation (Shankar, 1994;Lashkaripour, 2003;Oseji et al, 2006;Sahu and Sahoo 2006). The resistivity of a geological structure can vary significantly, depending on the porosity, water content and the concentration of salts in groundwater.…”

An electrical resistivity survey was carried out in the premises of Chennai Metrowater Sewage treatment plants and Anna University to assess the suitability of underlying aquifer for reclaimed water recharge and also to understand groundwater conditions. The geo-electrical methods used in the survey are Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using the Schlumberger Configuration. The instrument used is ABEM Terrameter SAS 1000. The VES data from 5 locations were interpreted using IX1Dv2 software. The resistivity varies from 3.96 Ωm to 2796 Ωm while the thickness varies from 0.58 m to 43.05 m. The EC value for VES 1 and VES 3 are 26400 µS cm -1 and 1551 µS cm -1 , the TDS value for VES 1 and VES 3 are 16,896 mg l -1 and 993 mg l -1 respectively. From this investigation, the thickness of the first layer obtained by VES method along with clay and sand ratio is the deciding factor to assess the suitability of reclaimed water recharge. The study reveals that the Clay and Sand % should be between 30 -40 and 60 -70 respectively for reclaimed water recharge. Koyambedu and Anna University STP and surrounding area are found suitable for reclaimed water recharge using Soil Aquifer Treatment.
