Hydraulic conductivity is an important parameter, representing permeable property of the groundwater in aquifers, in the issues of groundwater development, groundwater contamination, and groundwater flow, etc. We estimated a relationship between hydraulic conductivity and electrical properties (formation factor, chargeability, and time constant) of silty sand in the laboratory. For this study, we conducted grain size analysis, constant head permeameter test, and measured electrical resistivity and spectral induced polarization of silty sand samples collected from the riverside alluvium of the Nakdong River in Nogok-ri area, Dasan-myeon, Goryeong-gun in Gyeongbook Province, Korea. In the laboratory test, we used soil samples of approximately uniform porosity with 0.5% error range, and kept the electrical resistivity of pore water with 100 ohm-m. As a result, the relationship between effective particle size and hydraulic conductivity agrees fairly well with the existing empirical formulas. Hydraulic conductivity was correlated with formation factor, chargeability, and time constant: hydraulic conductivity increased with increasing formation factor and time constant as well as with decreasing chargeability.

“…Geologically, all cases are from fractured hard rock aquifers. The fractured crystalline bedrock, central landfill, Rhode Island, USA ( fig.6-A) is characterized by high fractured granite, high hydraulic conductivity, no primary permeability and hydraulic flow is restricted to fractures, and no clay, where weathering product of granite decomposition, have been washed out by glacial melt waters (Frohlich, et. al., 1996).…”

“…Though the geoelectrical methods alone, even under favorable conditions, do not replace test drilling to ascertain groundwater condition, yet in many cases can reduce the number of test drillings by giving a better selection of test borehole locations (Yadav and Abolfazli 1998). In past three decades, several investigators have studied the relations between aquifer parameters and geoelectric properties (Ponzini et al 1984;Kelly and Frohlich 1985;Onuoha and Mbazi 1988;Mbonu et al 1991;Kalinski et al 1993;Frohlich et al 1996;Dasargues 1997;Singhal et al 1998;Niwas and De Lima 2006;Shevnin et al 2006;Batte et al 2010;Egbai 2011;Ezeh 2011;Majumdar and Das 2011;Sikandar and Christen 2012;Asfahani 2012;Niwas and Celik 2012;Nwosu et al 2013;Ugada et al 2013). Batte et al (2010) correlated geoelectric data with aquifer parameters to delineate the groundwater potential of hard rock terrain in central Uganda.…”

Deciphering transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer by vertical electrical sounding (VES) experiments in Northwest Bangladesh

2014

The vertical electrical soundings (VESs) are carried out in 24 selective locations of Chapai-Nawabganj area of northwest Bangladesh to determine the transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. Initially, the transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity are determined from the pumping data of nearby available production wells. Afterwards, the T and K are correlated with geoelectrical resistance and the total resistivity of the aquifer. The present study deciphers the functional analogous relations of the geoelectrical resistance with the transmissivity and the total resistivity with the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer in northwest Bangladesh. It has been shown that the given equations provide reasonable values of transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity where pumping test information is unavailable. It can be expected that the aquifer properties viz. transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of geologically similar area can be determined with the help of the obtained equations by conducting VES experiments.
