Exploring the Application of Geophysical Principles to Subsurface Groundwater Investigation, Hydrological Concepts, Aquifer Identification, and Field Procedures focuses on the use of geophysical methods and hydrological principles to study and assess groundwater resources beneath the earth’s surface. It examines techniques such as electrical resistivity, seismic surveys, and magnetic methods used to detect and map subsurface water-bearing formations, alongside key hydrological concepts like groundwater flow, recharge, and storage. The topic also highlights the processes of identifying different types of aquifers and conducting field procedures for data collection, analysis, and interpretation to support sustainable water resource management. Course objectives include enabling learners to understand the basic geophysical principles used in groundwater exploration, analyze hydrological processes related to subsurface water, identify and classify aquifer systems, and develop practical skills in applying field methods for groundwater investigation and evaluation.
This lecture is part of GPH 412 Groundwater Geophysics in the Geophysics department. The course has 15 recorded lectures across 5 series, all free to watch. Read or download the GPH 412 lecture note to study alongside the video.
