Abstract

In hard rock terrains, groundwater movement, migration, and storage occur through subsurface fractures. To assess the fractures and associated water, the authors carried integrated geophysical investigation with Wenner, GRP, Schlumberger, and Pole-Dipole array in the Indian state. The resistivity survey was carried out using a CRM-500 resistivity meter. The analyzed results are also re-verified with the help of IPI2WIN software. Initially, lateral and surface variations of resistivity were plotted by using Wenner and gradient resistivity profiling array. Then the low resistivity points were investigated with Schlumberger and Pole-Dipole array. In interpretation, low resistive zones identified correspond to the possible fractured zones. The results allowed mapping of the weathering zone at depth 12 to 15 m, and deep fracture lies below depth 55.0 m depth. The present study validates that the integrated geophysical survey is a powerful exploration technique to scrutinize and identify water-bearing fractures in the hard rock area.
