Electrical Resistivity Studies in the Kansas River Valley

Abstract

In order to investigate the application of resistivity methods to groundwater studies in eastern Kansas, electrical resistivity depth profiles were run in the Kansas River Valley at localities where geologic conditions were known. The results of this survey show that the depth to water table and bedrock can be determined in the Kansas River Valley. To a less certain degree interpretations can also be made concerning lithology and type of water contained in the alluvial sediments.
