Aquifer Characterization And Groundwater Potential Evaluation In The Sedimentary Rock Formation
The study was carried out to characterize the aquifer and to evaluate ground water potential in the sedimentary rock formation. Electrical Resistivity method and drilling method was used to develop subsurface soil profile for the determination of suitable location for tube well construction. The res...
