Understanding the basics of Electrical Resistivity Geophysical Survey

Electrical resistivity methods have been very important in the field of Applied Geophysics for more than a century now, particularly for shallow and near-surface investigations. This book explains and simplify the resistivity method for students of geophysics and hydrogeology. Here, the historical development and basic principles of electrical resistivity surveying techniques are presented. Past researches in groundwater geophysical investigation are discussed.
