“…Geoelectrical investigations have proven to be an effective geophysical method for delineating mineralized structure regions (Riva et al., 2019). The integration of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and induced polarization (IP) in geoelectrical methods is extensively applied in detailed surveys of geochemical parameters for the delineation base metals deposits (Moreira et al., 2020). Notwithstanding the simultaneous application of such approaches in mineral exploration, these methods are also used in a wide variety of environmental and hydrogeological studies as well (e.g., Revil et al., 2012; Loke et al., 2013; Binley et al., 2015; Rosolen et al., 2019).…”

Geophysical survey techniques were carried out to identify the potential zones of manganese ore in Central Peninsular Malaysia. Electrical resistivity tomography and induced polarization (IP) geoelectrical methods have been used to identify the metal distribution and mineralization zones. Five geoelectrical survey profiles were deployed at the proposed site using pole-dipole array in the W-E direction with lengths of 400 m and 800 m. The results of the resistivity and IP inversion indicate the presence of well-correlated low resistivity (≤ 200 m) and high chargeability zones (≥ 10 ms) embedded in the varied weathered host rock as massive and disseminated ore bodies. The 3-D maps generated enabled the delineation of the conductive bodies orientation and mineral of interest distribution. Results of the geochemical analysis contributed to validating the site as a potential mineralized zone with a high concentration of manganese. The study suggests further geophysical investigations in the southern segment of the research area to produce a more consistent image of the subsurface structures, and conclusively identifying the extension of mineral deposits for the purpose of ore prospecting to aid drilling operations.

“…In this regard, ERI can provide results with sufficient resolution to monitor subsurface water flow as a function of resistivity changes on different temporal and spatial scales [33]. Moreover, two-dimensional (2D) ERI is a well-established technique for subsurface geological and structural investigations in field and laboratory scales, such as in fault mapping [34], estimation of infiltration rates [32], delineation of potential aquifer zones, detection of contaminant flow, and imaging of wastewater and oil leakages in soils [35,36]. Recently, investigations using ERI monitoring have provided an ideal technique for characterizing and monitoring water infiltration to aquifers [37] and monitoring CO 2 migration [38].…”

Flash flood hazard assessments, mitigation measures, and water harvesting efforts in desert environments are often challenged by data scarcity on the basin scale. The present study, using the Wadi Atfeh catchment as a test site, integrates remote sensing datasets with field and geoelectrical measurements to assess flash flood hazards, suggest mitigation measures, and to examine the recharge to the alluvium aquifer. The estimated peak discharge of the 13 March 2020 flood event was 97 m3/h, which exceeded the capacity of the culverts beneath the Eastern Military Highway (64 m3/h), and a new dam was suggested, where 75% of the catchment could be controlled. The monitoring of water infiltration into the alluvium aquifer using time-lapse electrical resistivity measurements along a fixed profile showed a limited connection between the wetted surficial sediments and the water table. Throughflow is probably the main source of recharge to the aquifer rather than vertical infiltration at the basin outlet. The findings suggest further measures to avoid the negative impacts of flash floods at the Wadi Atfeh catchment and similar basins in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. Furthermore, future hydrological studies in desert environments should take into consideration the major role of the throughflow in alluvium aquifer recharge.
