Ground Water in Precambrian Rocks in Southern Sweden

Remote Sensing of Rock Fractures and Groundwater Development Success in Parts of South Western Nigeria

“…Also, points representing the intersection of two deep seated lineaments are more-favourable sites for groundwater accumulation than points representing the intersection of short (shallow) lineaments. This situation has been proved in the Pre-Cambrian rocks of southern Sweden (Larsson, 1968) where it was shown that open, long fractures tend to drain large volumes to bedrock, with corresponding high yield. On the other hand, close short joints and faults contain small amounts of water.…”
