RELATING HYDRAULIC AND GEOELECTRIC PARAMETERS OF THE JAYANT AQUIFER, INDIA

Geoelectrical soundings with Schlumberger arrays were carried out clos e to nine pumping-test sites in the Jayant project, a part of the Sing rauli Coalfields, Madhya Pradesh, India, to relate geoelectric paramet ers to hydraulic parameters, such as hydraulic conductivity and transm issivity. The interpretation of the sounding data was carried out usin g partial curve matching and the final model parameters were obtained using the computer program AIMRESI. Water samples collected from diffe rent pumping-test sites were analyzed to obtain water resistivity. The relationship between transmissivity and normalized aquifer resistivit y is discussed in this paper. Normalized aquifer resistivity is a very good predictor for transmissivity in this aquifer.
