“…In hydrogeological investigations, transverse resistance (R) has been found to be functionally analogous to transmissivity (T) (Cassiani and Medina 1997;Niwas and Singhal 1985). The value of transverse resistance computed from VES data and transmissivity of the aquifer computed from pumping test data at different sites near to the VES locations are summarized in Table 1.…”

The vertical electrical soundings (VESs) are carried out in 24 selective locations of Chapai-Nawabganj area of northwest Bangladesh to determine the transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. Initially, the transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity are determined from the pumping data of nearby available production wells. Afterwards, the T and K are correlated with geoelectrical resistance and the total resistivity of the aquifer. The present study deciphers the functional analogous relations of the geoelectrical resistance with the transmissivity and the total resistivity with the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer in northwest Bangladesh. It has been shown that the given equations provide reasonable values of transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity where pumping test information is unavailable. It can be expected that the aquifer properties viz. transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of geologically similar area can be determined with the help of the obtained equations by conducting VES experiments.

“…The concept of Dar Zarrouk parameters were first introduced by [14] to explain the problem of non-uniqueness in the interpretation of resistivity depth sounding curves. Analytical relations between aquifer transmissivity and Dar Zarrouk parameters have been developed and various data sets tested [12,[15][16]. The Dar Zarrouk parameters consist of the transverse resistance (R T ) and longitudinal conductance (L c ).…”

The application of geophysical methods in combination with pumping tests provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to estimate aquifer parameters. In this study, nineteen Schlumberger vertical electrical soundings (VES) were occupied in parts of Bayelsa State using a maximum current electrode separation ranging beweeen 300 -400 m with the aim of estimating the transmissivity of the alluvial aquifer in areas where no pumping test has been carried out. Four of the soundings were carried out near existing boreholes in which pumping test had been carried out. The VES data obtained was interpreted, and layer parameters such as true resistivities and thickness were determined. The geoelectric parameters were used to generate the Dar Zarrouk parameters. Correlating the Dar Zarrouk parameter (e.g longitudinal unit conductance) with transmissivity derived from pumping test data, a constant was found which translate longitudinal unit conductance to transmissivity in a hydrogeological setting where effective porosity is the primary control on resistivity and hydraulic conductivity.

“…This method resulted in a fairly good correlation with the measured data. S. Niwas and D.C. Singhal (1985) introduced normalized aquifer resistivity instead of aquifer resistivity. An Analytical relationship between normalized transverse resistance and aquifer transmissivity has been developed for estimating transmissivity from resistivity sounding data taking into consideration the variation in groundwater quality.…”
