Hydrogeophysical Assessment for Groundwater Resources In Lower Vellar Watershed, Cuddalore District, Tamilnadu, India

Abstract

Seventeen Vertical Electrical Soundings were carried away in vellar river Bank of Bhuvanagiri and Chidambaram Taluk, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu to classify the development and management through Artificial Recharge zone in alluvium formation and identify the sub-surface lithological series. The most electrode division used is 100m by Schlumberger pattern. Geologically, sedimentary rocks are alluvium and tertiary formations. The resistivity reports were interpreted by using IPI2WIN software. The construe outcome shows 3 and 4 layer strata. It has been prepared pseudo section in comparison with the subsurface strata to validate the results.
