Abstract

The geophysical methods has been used for a number of applications particularly groundwater potential zone. There are four important techniques like gravity, magnetic, seismic, and geoelectrical prospecting methods are available. Electrical resistivity (Geoelectrical) methods are the most popular among them and its highest resolving power and economical viability. Electrical resistivity techniques to investigate the different lithological formations, bed rock dispositions, the depth to water table or zone of saturated formations, thickness of weathered zones, detection of fissures, fractures, fault zones, establishment of their depths, thickness and lateral extent of aquifers, groundwater flow directions, valley fills, depth to basement in hard rocks, fresh and salt water intrusions, groundwater prospective zones, for locating ore deposits and archaeological studies. In this area, electrical resistivity method has been worked to analyse geoelectrical parameter identification.
