Locating of Salt and Fresh Water Interface in Coastal Zones Using 2D Resistivity Imageries

Abstract:

Demarcation of fresh- and saline-water interface is important in water supply engineering in coastal regions. A resistivity imager system was employed to investigate the saline water intrusion to freshwater table at selected coastal locations in Sri Lanka. This is the first such attempt in Sri Lanka using the above technique. Systematic geo-resistivity investigations were carried out at randomly selected sites at Mundel and Rekawa coastal areas. Measured and calculated values generally show good agreement, especially in Mundel area, where the current penetration is good. The results indicate a possibility of using resistivity imager system to demarcate the saline and fresh water interfaces and intermixing zones, especially in the wet zone.
