“…The results of the measurements in situ and of the laboratory tests at 15 groundwater samples (samples [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], presented maximum EC of 3.5 mS/cm, minimum EC of 2.1 mS/cm, and a mean value of 2.7 mS/cm corresponding to salinities of 2.1, 1.3, and 1.6 g/l, respectively, indicating the presence of slightly saline water. A similar number of soil samples from the aquifer were analyzed to determine its texture under the Bouyoucos technique.…”

Playa Las Glorias is the main tourist destination for the inhabitants of the municipality of Guasave, Sinaloa, México, and it overlies a shallow coastal aquifer. In recent years, the momentum of the tourism industry in the region has brought a growing demand in the consumption of drinking water. Because of this, it is relevant to the precise knowledge of the interface of slightly brackish saltwater for an efficient planning of new wells by the municipal authorities. For efficient groundwater exploitation, it was taken into consideration the productivity of the aquifer and the environmental impact that would cause improper management of water resources. The electromagnetic profiling (EMP) method was applied in Playa Las Glorias, Sinaloa, Mexico. A total of 150 measurements of EMP distributed in 11 profiles were performed, of which 10 were perpendicular to the coast and one parallel to it, using an EM34 meter in horizontal polarization and separation between coils of 10 m and 20 m. The apparent conductivity maps show an anomaly of low conductivity, indicating the presence of fresh or slightly saline water. In this anomalous zone we performed an electric resistivity tomography (ERT) profile to determine the behavior of groundwater salinity finding a shallow layer of freshwater, and as it deepens the salinity increases due to the influence of the sea. In addition, electrical resistivity (R w ) values were measured in groundwater samples that, along with the resistivity values (R o ) for sandy formation obtained from ERT data, allowed us to determine a lineal relationship between both resistivities. A hydro geochemical study was conducted in the site through Piper diagrams and Chadha, indicating a predominance in the region of chlorinated water due to the influence

Hydraulic conductivity is an important parameter, representing permeable property of the groundwater in aquifers, in the issues of groundwater development, groundwater contamination, and groundwater flow, etc. We estimated a relationship between hydraulic conductivity and electrical properties (formation factor, chargeability, and time constant) of silty sand in the laboratory. For this study, we conducted grain size analysis, constant head permeameter test, and measured electrical resistivity and spectral induced polarization of silty sand samples collected from the riverside alluvium of the Nakdong River in Nogok-ri area, Dasan-myeon, Goryeong-gun in Gyeongbook Province, Korea. In the laboratory test, we used soil samples of approximately uniform porosity with 0.5% error range, and kept the electrical resistivity of pore water with 100 ohm-m. As a result, the relationship between effective particle size and hydraulic conductivity agrees fairly well with the existing empirical formulas. Hydraulic conductivity was correlated with formation factor, chargeability, and time constant: hydraulic conductivity increased with increasing formation factor and time constant as well as with decreasing chargeability.

“…Though the geoelectrical methods alone, even under favorable conditions, do not replace test drilling to ascertain groundwater condition, yet in many cases can reduce the number of test drillings by giving a better selection of test borehole locations (Yadav and Abolfazli 1998). In past three decades, several investigators have studied the relations between aquifer parameters and geoelectric properties (Ponzini et al 1984;Kelly and Frohlich 1985;Onuoha and Mbazi 1988;Mbonu et al 1991;Kalinski et al 1993;Frohlich et al 1996;Dasargues 1997;Singhal et al 1998;Niwas and De Lima 2006;Shevnin et al 2006;Batte et al 2010;Egbai 2011;Ezeh 2011;Majumdar and Das 2011;Sikandar and Christen 2012;Asfahani 2012;Niwas and Celik 2012;Nwosu et al 2013;Ugada et al 2013). Batte et al (2010) correlated geoelectric data with aquifer parameters to delineate the groundwater potential of hard rock terrain in central Uganda.…”

Deciphering transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer by vertical electrical sounding (VES) experiments in Northwest Bangladesh

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.
