TLDR
There have been major improvements in instrumentation, field survey design and data inversion techniques for the geoelectrical method over the past 25 years as mentioned in this paper, which has made it possible to conduct large 2D, 3D and even 4D surveys efficiently to resolve complex geological structures that were not possible with traditional 1-D surveys.

Resistivity and self-potential tomography applied to groundwater remediation and contaminant plumes: Sandbox and field experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D resistivity tomography is used to track the kinetics of an advecting oxidizer plume with acceptable accuracy and, if needed, in real time, but are unable to completely resolve the shape of the plume.

Evaluating four-dimensional time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography for monitoring DNAPL source zone remediation

TL;DR: 4D time-lapse ERT has potential for mapping where and how quickly DNAPL mass changes in real time during site remediation, and can provide a reasonable estimate of theDNAPL volume remediated with time.

The electrical resistivity log as an aid in determining some reservoir characteristics

TL;DR: The usefulness of the electrical resistivity log in determining reservoir characteristics is governed largely by: (1) the accuracy with which the true resistivity of the formation can be determined; (2) the scope of detailed data concerning the relation of resistivity measurements to formation characteristics; (3) the available information concerning the conductivity of connate or formation waters; and (4) the extent of geologic knowledge regarding probable changes in facies within given horizons, both vertically and laterally, particularly in relation to the resultant effect on the electrical properties of the reservoir as mentioned in this paper.
