Aquifer transmissivity of porous media from resistivity data

摘要: To optimize the information/cost ratio and avoid indiscriminate excessive use of drilling pump testing to calculate aquifer transmissivity an analytical relationship between modified transverse resistance has been developed for estimating from resistivity sounding data. The relation takes into consideration variation in quality groundwater. tested successfully glacial aquifers Rhode Island, U.S.A. alluvial three different areas Uttar Pradesh, India. practical applicability lies fact that if hydraulic conductivity is known any reference point a porous homogeneous aquifer, one can get fairly good idea at other locations within basin, surface geo-electrical measurements.
