Study of Identification of Effective Sand Bed in Aquifer Zones using Resistivity Survey in Tripura: Case Studies
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Growing water scarcity in India is threatening for sustainable water supply source of the inhabitants. As the present water sources are not being able to provide water as per required demand so, groundwater can play an important role in ensuring complementary and sustainable water supply in parallel with the present water sources. Hence sustainable exploitation of this resource is needed and thus studies are needed to be done so that we can reach a sustainable yield of groundwater. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) is one such method by which resistivity of earth materials is checked and prospective ground water potential zones are identified along with sub soil stratifications. The resistivity meter (SAR-MP-ATS) was used to collect the VES data by employing Schlumberger electrode configuration and the field data were interpreted in terms of resistivity and the corresponding thickness of various subsurface layers using ‘Interpex, IX1D’ computer software. The present study focuses on identification of effective sand bed for Khowai District, West Tripura District, Sepahijala District and Gomati District in Tripura and as well as developing resistivity variation curve and interpreting lithologs / sub soil stratification from VES survey data. VES study may be used to find the litholog of the terrain without further making boreholes in the regions thus reducing cost incurred and labour required and thus finding groundwater potential zones economically.
