Electrical geophysical method was applied, to select viable area with essential soil nutrients for plant’s growth. Conventional soil test analysis was carried out for the purpose of confirmation. A case study was done at Ukpenu-Ibhiese and Iruekpen in Ekpoma. The result of the electrical resistivity geophysical method showed that southwest and northwest of the area has resistivity values that ranged between 80Ωm to 170Ωm while the remaining part of the area has values higher than  170Ωm, ranged from  580Ωm to 950Ωm. Values of organic matter, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium,  obtained from the soil test in area with 80Ωm to 170Ωm indicated good proportion of essential soil nutrients for plant growth while area with resistivity values that ranged from 580Ωm to 950Ωm was deficient in essential soil nutrients for plant growth. The results further proved that soil electrical physical properties thus detected and mapped can be used as a proxy of physical, chemical, and biological features relevant for the appropriate site selection and soils management, based on their resistivity behavior, spatial variability, and time dynamics in the area of study.

One of the most important parameters in performance of every constructing project is the analysis of undersurface condition to assure the land fitness for structure establishment. Flumes and cavities in low depths can be specified fairly by GPR method due to obvious difference in electromagnetic characteristics with their surrounding environment. Geo radar studies have been used to explore undersurface phenomena such as flumes and cavities in Abolfazl Tekieh foundation site in Mahdieh Street, Kerman city. The aim of these studies is undersurface exploration of the depth of 3 to 15 m. The region under study was marked and profiled and all measurements were performed on determined profiles. After processing and expounding of removed sections according to obtained radar grams, some abnormalities were observed that mainly showed some undersurface looseness or small local cavities

ABSTRACT: This work is a case study in Guyana with the goal of finding groundwater in rock layers with fracture-controlled porosity using electrical resistivity imaging. This work was carried out in two phases by the Brazilian Army, in eight communities in the region of Alto Tacutu – Alto Essequibo in southeast Guyana. All work was done in accordance with a technical agreement between Brazil and Guyana. In the first phase, the surveys were completed by the team which collected resistivity data using a SuperSting R8 electrical resistivity meter with dipole-dipole and dipole-gradient arrays. Then the software EarthImager was used to analyze the data and create two-dimensional (2D) pseudo-sections with depths up to 70m. In the second phase, eight wells were drilled in areas of low resistivity. The geology of this region consists of Precambrian granite rock layers with varying levels of fracturing. In this way, the effectiveness of the multielectrode resistivity imaging technique was demonstrated as a way to explore the availability of groundwater in crystalline rock formations with fracture-controlled porosity.Keywords: electrical resistivity imaging, well siting, groundwater.RESUMO: Este trabalho se constitui em um estudo de caso na Guiana Inglesa, com o objetivo de encontrar água subterrânea por meio de levantamentos de resistividade elétrica, nas áreas de porosidade controladas pelas zonas de fraturas. O trabalho foi realizado em duas fases pelo Exército Brasileiro em oito comunidades da região do Alto Tacutu – Alto Essequibo no sudeste da Guiana Inglesa, através de um acordo de cooperação técnica entre o Brasil e a Guiana. Na primeira fase, os levantamentos foram feitos por uma equipe que coletou dados de resistividade usando um eletrorresistivímetro SuperSting R8 com arranjos dos tipos dipolo-dipolo e dipolo gradiente. Em seguida foi utilizado o software EarthImager para analisar os dados e criar pseudoseções de duas dimensões (2D) até 70m de profundidade. Na segunda fase, oito poços foram perfurados em pontos de baixa resistividade. A geologia da região é constituída de rochas graníticas Pré-cambrianas com níveis variados de fraturamento. Desse modo, demonstrou-se a efetividade do método de resistividade elétrica multieletrodo para explorar a disponibilidade de água subterrânea em aquíferos fraturados em terrenos cristalinos.Palavras-chave: imageamento de resistividade elétrica, locação de poços, água subterrânea.

Self-potential is a geophysical method as an inexpensive, practical, and simply used measurements. Measuring with this as simply used, make it’s become sensitive to noise and causing difficulties with interpretation. As an environment geophysical method, self-potential would give a good interpretational model. One other way to getting a good model to reduced the noise data. The noise reduction developed by making the experiment box model as the only exploration field. Experiment box model is formed by composing paving blocks at the edge of the box. The purpose of the experiment is to analyze the target, which is a massive iron cylinder, as a physical and chemical reaction. The iron placed in the sandbox which has two conditions, half-down wet and half-up dry. The porous pot made from mini straw which is appropriated with the sandbox dimension and target experiment. The experiment took five weeks as periodically measurement.The results were potential graphics and two-dimension iso-potential maps. Existing of iron-related to large-amplitude potential anomalies around the target. Thus, corrosion-related to compared periodical-maps of anomaly contour area. The difference of anomaly’s pattern in the last two maps might cause the internal changed of the box model. This experiment indicated that self-potential signals can be used to monitor corrosion processes.
