Lineaments as Groundwater Exploration Guides in Hard-Rock Terranes of ARID Regions

Abstract: RESUMEL'eau souterraine est une ressource peu abondante dans les regions arides et semi-a rides. L'exploration dans les secteurs oii Ie socle est cristallin et peu profond se limite aux zones ou la roche a subi Ie phenomene de fracturation. Les fractures produisent des discontinuites (failles et diaclases) dans Ie substratum geologique pour permettre l'ecoulement et I'emmagasinement de la nappe phreatique. Les fractures se presentent sur les images eeriennes et satellites comme des lineaments, sous forme de ce… Show more

“…Areas upgradient of dykes or any other geological intrusions within the host rock are also good water potential zones, where the dyke/intrusion behaves as a barrier to groundwater flow. Lineament has generally been used as an indicative tool for locating groundwater potential zones (Lattman and Parizek 1964;Siddiqui and Parizek 1971;Yin and Brook 1992;Mabee et al 1994;Gustafsson 1994;Mahmood 1996;Sander 1997;Sander et al 1997;Edet et al 1998;Magowe and Carr 1999;Mabee et al 2002), but with the present scenario of over-exploitation of the aquifer, characterization of the lineament becomes essential to ensure the possibility of locating groundwater potential zones and managing over-exploited aquifers in hard rock terrain.…”

“…A variety of lineament analysis techniques using remotely sensed data exist and have been developed in near ideal settings where influences of anthropology, vegetation, climatic situations are minimal (e.g., Meijerink et al 2007, Kann and Glenn 2006, Hung et al 2005, Murphy and Burgess 2005, Glenn and Carr 2004, Abouma-Simba 2003, Paganelli et al 2003, Mabee 1999, Magowe and Carr 1999, Robinson et al 1999, Edet et al 1998, Henderson et al 1996, Mahmood 1996, Mabee et al 1994, Boeckh 1992, Krishnamurthy 1992. Furthermore, such lineament studies have been executed in regions with reputable knowledge of hydrology and geology.…”

“…This means that radar sensors are able to collect imagery regardless of time of day and weather conditions. Radar sensors respond to surface topography, roughness, and dielectric properties, unlike optical sensors which respond to optical and thermal attributes (Radarsat Geology Handbook 1996, Mahmood 1996. Thus, radar images contain less anthropogenic and vegetation information and exhibit more topographic information (Mahmood 1996).…”
