Geoelectric Sounding for Estimating Aquifer Hydraulic Conductivity
TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed surface electrical resistivity methods for estimating hydraulic conductivities in glacial outwash materials, using the results of Schlumberger electrical soundings at six sites in southern Rhode Island where pumping tests had previously been made.Abstract:
The objective of this study was to develop surface electrical resistivity methods for estimating hydraulic conductivities in glacial outwash materials Aquifer electrical resistivities were determined from the results of Schlumberger electrical soundings at six sites in southern Rhode Island where pumping tests had previously been made Hydraulic conductivities and transmissivities determined from pumping tests were then correlated with resistivities obtained from electrical soundings Results indicate that electrical resistivities determined from soundings can be used to predict aquifer hydraulic conductivities; an empirical relation between aquifer electrical resistivity and aquifer hydraulic conductivity was developed A semiempirical relation between aquifer formation factor and hydraulic conductivity was also developedread more

On the Correlation of Electrical Conductivity Properties of Porous Systems with Viscous Flow Transport Coefficients
TL;DR: In this article, the role of surface conductivity plays in electrical transport processes in porous media, and it is shown that this term has to be included in the calculations where phase distributions or porosities are to be deducted from formation factor type measurements even in clean formations when electrolyte concentrations are low.
