Application Of 2-D Resistivity And Self-Potential Methods In Delineating Water Flow

Water flow is essential for engineers when constructing any form of structure. A vital factor to consider is water flows through the soil can impact the engineering and environmental aspects. In recent years, the self-potential (SP) method was rarely found in dealing with the water flow issue. In th...

description Water flow is essential for engineers when constructing any form of structure. A vital factor to consider is water flows through the soil can impact the engineering and environmental aspects.

Geophysical methods are non-standalone methods as the data might be affected by the surrounding environment. The integrations of geophysical and geotechnical methods are performed to increase the understanding of subsurface features and water flow. 2-D resistivity can identify the position of conductive materials in the subsurface.
