Electrical resistivity method is an excellent tool for groundwater exploration.Current is injected in ground through two electrodes and resultant potential is measured through another pair of electrodes. These electrode are placed on ground at predefined locations .Wenner and Schlumberger are the most widely used configuration for placing the electrodes.Sounding with Schlumberger configuration is carried out for groundwater investigation.The data is then interpreted with available software and the results are in the form of resistivity and the thickness of different layers.These can be gainfully correalated with available geological data and thus site for dugwell/tubewell can be finalised.The sea water intrusion,factories polluting discharge also can be successfully delineated with resistivity method

Why resistivity method is suitable for ground water exploration?
rain and flooding
What are the geophysical methods for soil exploration techniques?
Some of the geo-physical methods of soil exploration are,(i) Seismic Refraction Method,(ii) Electrical Resistivity Method.
What is the resistivity of graphite?
The resistivity of graphite is 7.837 µΩm.
What is thermal resistivity of soils?
Resistivity is the opposite of conductivity. The thermal resistivity of soil is the degree to which soil impedes the flow of heat, or insulates against heat.

What is the resistivity of graphite?
The resistivity of graphite is 7.837 µΩm.
What is thermal resistivity of soils?
Resistivity is the opposite of conductivity. The thermal resistivity of soil is the degree to which soil impedes the flow of heat, or insulates against heat.
Which network security method determines what applications and data can get into and out of a network?
The firewall.
Do wires that have high resistivity have high conductivity also?
No. In fact it is the opposite. Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity so a high resistivity means low conductivity. peace.
What are the formulae of resistivity?
There is no 'formula' for resistivity. The resistivities of different conductors have been determined by experiment.
