VERTICAL ELECTRIAL SOUNDING (VES)
Vertical electrical sounding is a geophysical method for investigation of a geological medium, the method is used on the estimation of the electrical conductivity or resistivity of the medium. The estimation is performed based on the measurement of voltage of electrical field induced by the distant grounded electrodes (current electrodes). The following methods are used to carry out experiment in vertical electrical sounding; v Wenner array (2D) v Schlumberger array (1D) v Dipole-dipole array v Square array AIM 1. To determine the potential difference and current passing. 2. To know the depth of water level in an area of mapping and to know the aquifer level of an area. 3. It also determines the type of soil that can be used for building structures in a certain area. 4. To know the type of crops that will be grown in that area. APPARATUS USED 1. Tetram...
