英文摘要 | Groundwater is the main supply of fresh water in many parts of the world. The intrusion of saline water into the fresh water is a serious threat to groundwater resources. Delineation of fresh-saline aquifer zones is essential to exploit the potable fresh water. The conventional method to differentiate fresh-saline water interface is to collect and test groundwater samples from boreholes using a number of laboratory tests. However, such techniques are expensive and time consuming. A non-invasive geoelectrical method, in combination with borehole data and physicochemical analysis, is proposed to assess the fresh-saline aquifers. This investigation was conducted in Jahanian area of Pakistan with forty-five vertical electrical soundings (VES) using Schlumberger array, nine bore wells and fifty physicochemical samples. The fresh-saline aquifers are delineated by aquifer resistivity and Dar-Zarrouk parameters namely transverse unit resistance and longitudinal unit conductance. The aquifer potential of fresh-saline water zones is estimated by the aquifer parameters namely transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity. Integration of subsurface resistivity with hydrogeological information reveals the subsurface formation of five layered succession, that is, topsoil having dry strata with resistivity greater than 30 Omega m, clay containing saline water with resistivity less than 15 Omega m, clay-sand with brackish water having resistivity between 15 and 25 Omega m, sand containing fresh water with resistivity ranging from 25 to 45 Omega m and gravel-sand having fresh water with resistivity greater than 45 Omega m. The geoelectrical columns and geological cross-sections constructed by the aquifer resistivity provide effectiveness of the interpretations for the evaluation of fresh-saline aquifers. The results of physicochemical analysis using WHO guideline validate the fresh-saline aquifer zones delineated by the geophysical method. This investigation contributes towards predicting the fresh-saline water interface using inexpensive geoelectrical method. |
