Surface geophysical techniques for aquifer and wellhead protection area delineation. Technical report (Final)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6805629
Surface geophysical techniques developed by the petroleum and minerals industries are applicable to ground-water investigations. This document examines some of these techniques to aid in the delineation of aquifers as part of the delineation of wellhead protection areas. Overviewed are seismic, electrical, electromagnetic induction, VLF resistivity, ground penetrating radar, gravity, and magnetic geophysical techniques, and their applicability to aquifer delineation. The theory and methodology of these are discussed, along with the method costs as of early 1987. Also briefly discussed is the delineation of wellhead protection areas.
