Objective:
|
To detect and delineate orientation of plume including depth to top
and bottom, and to determine migration direction.
|
|
Logistics:
|
Topography was flat and therefore no elevations were incorporated.
- Data acquisition time: six days
- Lineal coverage: 4000 feet
- Line separation: 500 feet
- Data reduction & plotting: two days

|
Results:
|
Plotted resistivity values clearly show a well defined contrast
from dry to partially saturated alluvium. The dashed line shows the orientation and
migration direction of the plume relative to the source. Note how resistivity
values decrease downgradient to the right. The increased total dissolved solids
(TDS) and high moisture content allows the plume to be well defined due to the
associated low resistivity values.

Other Applications:
|
Buried solid waste detection, plume mapping, clay horizon identification,
leak detection and alluvial characterization.
