Geophysical Methods for Groundwater Exploration focuses on the application of non-invasive geophysical techniques to detect, map, and evaluate groundwater resources beneath the earth’s surface. It examines methods such as electrical resistivity, seismic refraction, electromagnetic surveys, and ground-penetrating radar, which are used to identify subsurface structures, determine soil and rock properties, and locate potential aquifers. The topic emphasizes the importance of these techniques in reducing drilling risks, improving the accuracy of groundwater assessment, and supporting sustainable water resource management. Course objectives include enabling learners to understand the principles of major geophysical methods used in groundwater exploration, identify their applications in locating and evaluating aquifers, interpret geophysical data for decision-making, and develop practical skills for effective groundwater investigation and management.
