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 results of the measurements in situ and of the laboratory tests at 15 groundwater samples (samples [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], presented maximum EC of 3.5 mS/cm, minimum EC of 2.1 mS/cm, and a mean value of 2.7 mS/cm corresponding to salinities of 2.1, 1.3, and 1.6 g/l, respectively, indicating the presence of slightly saline water. A similar number of soil samples from the aquifer were analyzed to determine its texture under the Bouyoucos technique.…”

Playa Las Glorias is the main tourist destination for the inhabitants of the municipality of Guasave, Sinaloa, México, and it overlies a shallow coastal aquifer. In recent years, the momentum of the tourism industry in the region has brought a growing demand in the consumption of drinking water. Because of this, it is relevant to the precise knowledge of the interface of slightly brackish saltwater for an efficient planning of new wells by the municipal authorities. For efficient groundwater exploitation, it was taken into consideration the productivity of the aquifer and the environmental impact that would cause improper management of water resources. The electromagnetic profiling (EMP) method was applied in Playa Las Glorias, Sinaloa, Mexico. A total of 150 measurements of EMP distributed in 11 profiles were performed, of which 10 were perpendicular to the coast and one parallel to it, using an EM34 meter in horizontal polarization and separation between coils of 10 m and 20 m. The apparent conductivity maps show an anomaly of low conductivity, indicating the presence of fresh or slightly saline water. In this anomalous zone we performed an electric resistivity tomography (ERT) profile to determine the behavior of groundwater salinity finding a shallow layer of freshwater, and as it deepens the salinity increases due to the influence of the sea. In addition, electrical resistivity (R w ) values were measured in groundwater samples that, along with the resistivity values (R o ) for sandy formation obtained from ERT data, allowed us to determine a lineal relationship between both resistivities. A hydro geochemical study was conducted in the site through Piper diagrams and Chadha, indicating a predominance in the region of chlorinated water due to the influence

“…Chandra, S., et al, (2008) developed a similar approach to estimate hydraulic conductivity of Maheshwaram watershed aquifer in hard rock terrain in Hyderabad, India. Another combined approach was proposed by Soupios, P., et al, (2007); they used groundwater resistivity (Rw) measured from boreholes samples and apparent formation factor (Fa), estimated using formation resistivity from Vertical Electrical Sounding to estimate intrinsic formation factor. Intrinsic formation factor is used to estimate porosity.…”
