calculation of transverse resistance to correct aquifer resistivity of groundwater saturated zones: implications for estimating its hydrogeological properties
Abstract :
Serious difficulties are generally encountered during the interpretation of vertical electric sounding curves (VES). The purpose of this study is to correct the resistivity values of saturated aquifers by utilizing the conductivity and transverse resistance of the dry and saturated zones as revealed by resistivity well-logging technique. The true resistivity, ρ3, of the saturated zone, was calculated. The transverse resistance values were then corrected for all vertical electric sounding results. This procedure makes it possible to delineate and quantify underground water zones, based on the maps of hydrogeological and physical properties of aquifers.
