Significance of Dar-Zarrouk parameters in the exploration of quality affected coastal aquifer systems

Natural Vulnerability Estimate of Groundwater Resources in the Coastal Area of Ibaka Community, Using Dar Zarrouk Geoelectrical Parameters

“…The attribution of low resistivity at this depth to saline water ingress is because there were no records of clay layer formation at this depth in the study area. This is further supported by the fact that, in sedimentary environment high resistivity may largely be associated with the presence of fresh water in porous medium aquifer, while low resistivity may be due to the presence of clay or brackish water [25,27]. The facies variations were identified to be sands of various grain sizes forming the saturation sediments.…”

“…The combined resistance and thickness of earth layers was necessary because it checks some limitations, such as: heterogeneities effects, topographic effect and assumptions that beddings are horizontal associated with VES data interpretation. There was a need to correct for aquifers' resistivity in order to determine the hydrogeological characteristics of the underground water [24,25]. Hence, transverse resistance (T) was applied to reveal resistive layer confined between two or more conductive layers.…”

Geoelectric investigation to delineate groundwater potential and recharge zones in Suki river basin, north Maharashtra

“…D-Z parameters are sufficient for computing the distribution of surface potential and hence electrical resistivity graphs (Henriet 1976). Later on, many other workers Singhal 1981, 1985;Shahid and Nath 2002;Singh et al 2004;Khalil 2006;Mondal et al 2013) studied the significance of D-Z parameters for obtaining hydrological properties of the aquifers.…”

Assessment of seawater impact using major hydrochemical ions: a case study from Sadras, Tamilnadu, India

“…Groundwater chemistry based on hydrochemical data is useful for providing preliminary information on water types, classification of water for various purposes as well as identification of different groundwater aquifers and study of different chemical processes (Karanath 1987;Saxena et al 2003;Jalali 2007;Sarwade et al 2007). A number of workers have worked for appraisal of groundwater resources in coastal aquifers in various parts of India (Karanath 1987;Sukhija et al 1996;Radharkishna and Chowdary 1998;Rajmohan et al 2000;Bobba 2002;Ramesh 2003;Saxena et al 2004;Singh et al 2004aSingh et al , 2009Rao et al 2005;Senthilkumar et al 2008;Mondal et al 2008Mondal et al , 2010bPujari and Soni 2009).…”
