| Abstract: | Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) has been used in association with several geohydrological, geotechnical and geophysical
methods in resolving several site specific problems in hydrological science. Advancement in the field of computers and automation
in the field of electronics has jointly resulted in the development of this geophysical innovation which has wide application
in groundwater, environmental and engineering problems including monitoring of vadose zone water movement, steam injection
etc. In this paper application of ERT in association with geohydrological and other exploration methods in resolving groundwater
sustainability problem of a micro-watershed area in semi arid granite terrain is presented as three independent cases. In
a hard rock terrain the probability of complexities in understanding the sub-surface lithology and its corresponding hydrological
parameters are more. Hence appropriate resistivity survey configuration and suitable inversion of acquired data in congregation
with other geo-scientific investigations were carried out to understand the site specific problem. The study demonstrated
as 3 independent cases shows the usefulness of the ERT method in hydrological investigations, which is economic, efficient
and less time consuming in comparison to the other exploration methods. |
