“…Frohlich et al (1994) mapped the vulnerability of an aquifer by determining the extent and flow path of pollution by distinguishing the polluted from the clean water. Groundwater contamination has also been monitored (Abdelatif and Sulaiman, 2001;Gue´rin et al, 2002;Karlik and Kaya, 2001;Yoon and Park, 2001) in different regions. White (1994) identified and mapped the groundwater flow direction and seepage velocity using an electrical resistivity device.…”

Electrical resistivity of the soil can be considered as a proxy for the spatial and temporal variability of many other soil physical properties (i.e. structure, water content, or fluid composition). Because the method is non-destructive and very sensitive, it offers a very attractive tool for describing the subsurface properties without digging. It has been already applied in various contexts like : groundwater exploration, landfill and solute transfer delineation, agronomical management by identifying areas of excessive compaction or soil horizon thickness and bedrock depth, and at least assessing the soil hydrological properties. The surveys, depending on the areas heterogeneities can be performed in one-, two-or three-dimensions and also at different scales resolution from the centimetric scale to the regional scale. In this review, based on many electrical resistivity surveys, we expose the theory and the basic principles of the method, we overview the variation of electrical resistivity as a function of soil properties, we listed the main electrical device to performed one-, two-or three-dimensional surveys, and explain the basic principles of the data interpretation. At least, we discuss the main advantages and limits of the method.

“…Many investigative techniques are commonly employed in estimating the spatial distribution of aquifer parameters [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In this research work, the Allied Ohmega Terrameter was used to obtain seventeen vertical electrical soundings (VES) in order to establish the characteristics of the aquifers in the study area.…”

Abstract:Resistivity soundings and hydrogeochemical methods were carried out in order to establish the characteristics of the aquifer in Jeddo, Southern Nigeria. Results of the resistivity sounding revealed that the formation is made up of clay, clayey sand, and fine-to coarse-grained sand. The mean depth of the aquifer was obtained as 12.7 m while the aquifer resistivity ranged from 161 to 1728 Ωm. The mean value of transmissivity obtained for the aquifer is 169 m 2 day −1 while analysis of the transmissivity revealed that about 6% of the study area has greatest potential for a productive aquifer. The study also revealed that the underground water flows in the northeast-southwest direction. The hydro geochemical analysis of water samples showed that some parameters such as lead, color and pH exceeded the permissible limits, which were established by Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization. It is concluded from the water quality index (WQI) that the groundwater is of poor quality and requires some remediation before it can be used for domestic and industrial purposes.

“…The use of resistivity method as applied to waste dumping site studies are well documented by numerous researchers in the study of leachate contamination of soil and groundwater (Porsani et al, 2004;Karlik et al, 2001;Mukhtar et al, 2000;). The objective of this research work is to apply the electrical resistivity technique to detect and delineate leachate plume from uncontrolled solid waste dumpsite in Ogbomoso, Southwestern Nigeria.…”
