Abstract

Six multi-electrode resistivity scanning techniques has been conducted shallow aquifer potential zone in western part of lower vellar basin. Geologically it comprises of alluvium and tertiary formations. Multi electrode resistivity scanning was carried out 250m using 50 electrodes by interspacing 5m using SSR-MP-AT-ME model resistivity meter and data were interpreted in surfer software. the interpreted scanning image represented maximum resistivity of 1000m at nallanthethu and low resistivity of 60m noticed at muthukrishnapuram, in other location the resistivity noticed 750m .in order to identify moderate resistivity of &
