Characterization of the Capibaribe River Dry Bed with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Abstract: For an adequate hydrogeological study of alluvial layers in the semi-arid zone, it is important to know well its geometry and its hydraulics characteristics. Alluvial formations are generally constituted by erosion, transport and sedimentation processes, causing considerable heterogeneity in soil hydraulic parameters and water flow. The present research had as objective to perform a geophysical characterization using the Ground Penetrating Radar -GPR in the dry bed of the Capibaribe river. To the extent that d… Show more

“…A distribuição granular realizada por Brito et al (2018) em um ponto dentro da área de estudo deste trabalho verificou que a porcentagem de areia nos sedimentos é superior a 70%. Também na mesma área, Alves et al (2020) analisaram duas amostras que continham 79% e 95% de areia e as classificaram como areia argilosa e areia, respectivamente.…”

“…Geophysical characterization of a river bed was performed by Brito et al (2018), who recorded the changes in water content, granularity, sediment type, layer orientation, and water table zone. The use of GPR for sensing soil physical characteristics and crop root measurement was reviewed by Liu et al (2016), who found that GPR was a superior non-destructive method compared with other methods of soil investigation.…”

“…Alluvial deposits are geological formations that commonly occupy the beds of temporary rivers in the northeastern semiarid region. These deposits act as natural water reservoirs, allowing water supply during critical scarcity periods (Brito et al, 2018). Despite being an essential water supply source, these formations are the destination of indiscriminate wastewater disposal by the region's textile industries.…”
