Report on resistivity survey: Panit-an, Capiz

Abstract

Groundwater is found almost everywhere beneath the ground surface. However, poor-well site selection plus improper well design contributes to high investment and operation costs and sometimes lead to the failure of the well. The results of a Geo-resistivity test conducted on each of the proposed well sites in Panit-an, Capiz are presented. Three (3) Vertical Electrical Sounding Points were conducted in the project area with a maximum spread of 350 m. Projected penetration depth was about 200 meters or more. Among the three (3) Vertical Electrical Sounding Points, VES-03 which has the least resistive material was considered. as having the most groundwater potential.
