VERTICAL ELECTRICAL SOUNDING SURVEY IN PEDDAVAGU BASIN, CHITTOOR DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA

The geophysical method is one of the sub-methods that are included in the category of surface survey methods. The electrical resistivity survey falls under the geophysical survey category and is carried out at twenty separate places, allowing the option of geographic dispersion. Data obtained from vertical electrical soundings (VES) can be utilised to determine the characteristics of the strata that are situated under the surface. This can be accomplished with the assistance of the findings of VES. Utilising the findings of the VES made it possible to ascertain the thicknesses of broken and weathered zones. This was something that was before impossible. When it comes to identifying the potential placements of water wells, these thicknesses are of the utmost importance.
