Description / Table of Contents:
The book starts with the basics of recapping groundwater and an overview of the development of electrical resistivity methods. It covers the resistivity tomography for the identification of potential boreholes in hard rock regions, resource evaluation through remote sensing along with GIS, and aquifer parameterization through pumping tests. It discusses the enhancement of yield in hard rock regions through hydraulic fracturing. It also provides an understanding of the flow and transport mechanism in an aquifer and the recharge mechanism in the vadoze and saturated zone.
