“…To explore the groundwater, many surface and subsurface techniques have been developed. The surface methods include remote sensing (3) (e.g., Abotalib et al, 2021), geological and structural (4) (e.g., Attwa et al, 2021), and geophysics (5) (e.g., Lawal et al, 2022). Geophysical and geo-electrical methods are widely used for groundwater exploration where the electrical properties of soils depend mainly on water content and salinity.…”

New Obour City was recently established on the Cairo-Suez District Road, which claimed to rely on groundwater resources. The geological structure has substantial control over the occurrence or distribution of underground water and water flow. In this study case, the integration among the drilling borehole data, structure, and direct current resistivity DCR soundings data figure out accurate geoelectrical sections of faults and the potential zones of underground water. This approach was applied, considering the complex tectonic history and the surface geological map. It is better to use the Schlumberger array, in this case, to obtain valuable information with a good signal-to-noise ratio and resolution about the subsurface hydrogeological conditions, which, using the genetic algorithm approach, solves the uncertainty of the CDR inversion problem and also provides a reference to data from available boreholes. The final output consists of the primary geological lithology, which, according to the deference in layer sequence, indicates structural faults according to the analysis of field structure data. The resistivity approach determines the occurrence of underground water and the aquifer geometry.
