Abstract

The present study is an approach to evaluate the groundwater condition near Tiruchendur, Tamil Nadu, Tuticorin District, India using Vertical Electrical Sounding method. Vertical Electrical Sounding is one of the most suitable geophysical method for groundwater prospecting and it provides the vertical variation of subsurface layer in terms of thickness and resistivity values. A total of 12 VES were carried out using the Schlumberger configuration in the area. DDR3 resistivity meter (IGIS Pvt. Ltd) was used for the data acquisition. The obtained field data was analyzed and interpreted with the help of IPI2WIN software which gives an automatic interpretation of the apparent resistivity. The results of quantitative interpretation of geo electrical data show that the study area comprises of three to five electrical layers. The layer resistivity obtained is ranging from 1.3Ωm to 1512Ωm respectively.Among the total 12 vertical electrical soundings, three VES are found to have good groundwater potentiality as well as quality and six VES are found to have good groundwater potentiality with poor quality.
