Vertical Electrical Sounding Technique as an Efficient and Rapid Tool for Groundwater Investigation in a Basaltic Environment at Kodana Station for the Shami goats. Case Study from Southern Syria
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Se realizó un estudio geoeléctrico utilizando la técnica de sondeo eléctrico vertical (VES), con una configuración de Schlumberger adaptativa para localizar y perforar un pozo para la extracción de agua subterránea en la estación Kodana para cabras Shami, en el sur de Siria. Se propone un enfoque integrado para aumentar la eficacia de la técnica VES y reducir la incertidumbre y errores serios en la localización y perforación del pozo. El enfoque se basa esencialmente en el análisis de los parámetros de Dar-Zarrouk (D-Z), restringiendo varias condiciones para obtener un modelo hidrogeofísico óptimo. La interpretación cuantitativa por inversión 1-D de doce puntos de sondeo VES y los parámetros D-Z permitieron caracterizar el área de estudio en términos de la profundidad de un acuífero en basaltos fracturados del Neógeno. Los resultados mostraron que el punto VES (V6) tenía las propiedades óptimas y favorables para perforar un pozo exitoso en el área. Las coordenadas GPS del V6 son E: 3589614, N: 3301961 y Z: 770m. El acuífero en la capa piroclástica fracturada con rocas de composición basáltica del Neógeno en este punto V6 tiene un espesor (h) de 217 m, una resistividad (ρ) de 227 Ωm, una resistencia transversal (R)de 49259 Ωm2 y un parámetro de anisotropía (λ) de 1.15. Las ventajas del enfoque propuesto estánbien comprobadas y documentadas, comparadas con otras técnicas que requieren combinaciones de latécnica VES con otras técnicas geofísicas disponibles. Por lo tanto, se recomienda aplicar el enfoquepropuesto de la técnica VES para la investigación de aguas subterráneas y para localizar los mejoressitios para perforar pozos en ambientes basálticos similares en todo el mundo.
