The Use Of Electromagnetic And Vertical Electrical Sounding Methods In Groundwater Exploration, Hafiz Mohammed Nazi̇fi̇, Levent Gülen Apr 2019

The Use Of Electromagnetic And Vertical Electrical Sounding Methods In Groundwater Exploration, Hafiz Mohammed Nazi̇fi̇, Levent Gülen

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Electromagnetic (EM) profiling and Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) studies were carried out for groundwater exploration in the Twifo – Hemang Lower Denkyira Districts of Ghana. These two geophysical methods were used for exploring the groundwater potentials beneath Achiase, Mbaa Mpe Hia Community and Moseaso Community. This paper seeks to encourage the use of inversion for interpreting electromagnetic data rather than the usual qualitative interpretation method using line graphs and also the use of apparent resistivity maps as 2D pseudo resistivity maps to support interpretations of the 1D inversion results (in cases where the available budget could not permit 2D and …
