Groundwater Study using Application of a Resistivity Survey of Typical Mine Site of Thario-Halepoto Village of Thar Desert
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Research In Engineering & Management. - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
This study is based on analysis and assessment for convenience of groundwater to village Thario-Halepoto of Tharparakar, to shows groundwater availability. The groundwater of Thario-Halepoto is roughly categorized into different type of classes on the bases of its hydro geomorphological and analysis condition of study area. In this study a detail electrical survey is carried out of Thario-Halepoto and three surrounded villages for preparing various thematic maps viz. Electrical resistivity, physical and chemical parameter of water were analyzed. Thario-Halepoto is mining area where various constructive and destructive activities are carried out, which may deteriorate quality of groundwater and soil fertility due to construction of big dam surrounding to Thario-Halepoto for storage of groundwater extracted from coal mining pit, which may also diminish dug well groundwater surrounding mining pit. Geoelectrical resistivity survey technique was used to study the availability of water layer currently. The resistivity meter (PASI Model 16GL-N) was used to collect the vertical electrical sounding (VES) resistivity data at different sites, followed by Schlumberger electrode configuration, the collected data were interpreted in terms of resistivity and the outputs were observed by dug well groundwater. The combination of VES data with dug well groundwater data provided useful information on subsurface hydrogeologic conditions by observed that geoelectrical resistivity of the layers containing groundwater ranged between 50 to 500 Ωm resistivity and VES criteria of fit groundwater quality for aquifer resistivity values of 300 to 350 Ωm was valid for the sites. The results indicate that VES survey has the potential to identify the layer containing water and groundwater depth
