Book Groundwater Geophysics in Hard Rock

Download or read book Groundwater Geophysics in Hard Rock written by Prabhat Chandra Chandra and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2015-10-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In hard rock terrain, shallow water wells generally have a poor to moderate yield. Sinking wells deeply to tap yielding fracture zones often backfires, because the borehole may miss the saturated fracture zones at depths. A wrong approach to groundwater exploration in hard rock has therefore often led to unnecessary recurring expenditures and waste

Download or read book Shallow Refraction Seismics written by Bengt Sjogren and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many general geophysical textbooks dealing with the subject of seismic refraction. As a rule, they treat the principles and broad aspects ofthe method comprehensively but problems associated with engineering seismics at shallow depths are treated to a lesser extent. The intention of this book is to emphasize some practical and theoretical aspects of detailed refraction surveys for civil engineering projects and water prospecting. The book is intended for students of geophysics, professional geophysicists and geologists as well as for personnel who, without being directly involved in seismic work, are planning surveys and evaluating and using seismic results. The latter category will probably find Chapters 1, 5 and 6 of most interest. Interpretation methods, field work and interpretation of field examples constitute the main part of the book. When writing I have tried to concentrate on topics not usually described in the literature. In fact, some discussions on interpretation and correction techniques and on sources of error have not been published previously. The field examples, which are taken from sites with various geological conditions, range from simple to rather complicated interpretation problems. Thanks are due to A/S Geoteam (Norway), Atlas Copco ABEM AB (Sweden), BEHACO (Sweden) and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute for allowing me to use field examples and certain data from their investigations. I should particularly like to thank Professor Dattatray S. Parasnis of the University of Luleii (Sweden) for revising the manuscript and for his numerous invaluable suggestions.

Book Application of the Electrical Resistivity Method in Groundwater Exploration

Download or read book Application of the Electrical Resistivity Method in Groundwater Exploration written by Joseph Amadi and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Geology, Mineralogy, Soil Science, grade: 3.91, , course: Geology/Mining Technology, language: English, abstract: The Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) technique was carried out in Alode Community of Eleme Local Government Area in Rivers State to determine the geo-electrical and hydrogeological characteristics of the aquifers present in the area, and to delineate the geo-electric stratigraphy of each VES station. A total of three (3) VES were carried out with the ABEM Terrameter SAS 300C, using the Schlumberger Configuration. Maximum half-current electrode spread (AB/2) of 1m up to 150m was used, while the half potential electrode separation (MN/2) was maintained between 0.5m and 7.5m. The VES curves were quantitatively interpreted by partial curve matching and computer iteration techniques, using the IP1 WIN computer software. The results of the interpreted VES data confirm the following stratigraphies: top soil (40.2-65.2Ωm), shale (32.2-86.3Ωm), fine-medium sand (172-204Ωm), medium-coarse sand (532Ωm), and medium sand (417Ωm). Geo-electric sections reveal that the aquiferous units are mostly confined, with depth to aquifer range of 47m for VES 1 and 2 and 21m for VES 3.

Book Seismic Refraction Prospecting

Download or read book Seismic Refraction Prospecting written by Society of Exploration Geophysicists and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a compilation of the newer techniques of refraction seismic surveying. It contains a series of articles written principally by members of SEG who are specialist in refraction techniques. The volume contains only new materials with a bibliography of references to other refraction materials available. The majority of the papers are of a "technique type" which describe some particular interpretation technique that may be used for better interpretation of special refraction data.

Book Seismoelectric Exploration

Download or read book Seismoelectric Exploration written by Niels Grobbe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismoelectric coupling and its current and potential future applications The seismoelectric method—the naturally-occurring coupling of seismic waves to electromagnetic fields—can provide insight into important properties of porous media. With a variety of potential environmental and engineering uses, as well as larger scale applications such as earthquake detection and oil and gas exploration, it offers a number of advantages over conventional geophysical methods. Seismoelectric Exploration: Theory, Experiments, and Applications explores the coupling between poroelastic and electromagnetic disturbances, discussing laboratory experiments, numerical modeling techniques, recent theoretical developments, and field studies. Volume highlights include: Physics of the seismoelectric effect at the microscale Governing equations describing coupled seismo-electromagnetic fields Examples of successful seismoelectric field experiments in different geological settings Current and potential applications of seismoelectric coupling Noise removal techniques for seismoelectric field measurements The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

Book Groundwater Prospecting and Management

Download or read book Groundwater Prospecting and Management written by H. P. Patra and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an elaborate treatment of groundwater prospecting and management covering remote sensing, geological–geophysical cum hydrogeological studies, exploration (geological and geophysical), development (well logging techniques, pump test, its analysis and applications in well design), contamination (pollution of groundwater) and regulatory legislations regarding groundwater utilization under one cover. The book presents an elucidation of fundamental and theoretical background of each technique supported by necessary illustrative examples and exclusive case studies. It is a text-cum-reference book not only for students, research scholars and practicing earth scientists but also for practicing civil and agricultural engineers working in the application of groundwater resources, engaged in its exploration, development, contamination, legislation and management. The general readers can also refer the book for understanding the groundwater domain for adequate knowledge, as groundwater resources are essential life support commodity which is replenishable but not inexhaustible.

Book Water Resources of Hard Rock Aquifers in Arid and Semi arid Zones

Download or read book Water Resources of Hard Rock Aquifers in Arid and Semi arid Zones written by J. W. Lloyd and published by Unesco. This book was released on 1999 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hard rocks have a strong influence upon the hydrological cycle and their poor ability to transmit, store and yield groundwater may impose constraints upon socio-economic development. This book deals with the new methodologies and the means of exploiting groundwater resources in hard rocks: exploration and well-location, well-building methods, borehole and dug-well designs, methods for the analysis of pumping test data. Case-studies are included.
