Studying Ground Water Under Delmarva Coastal Bays Using Electrical Resistivity
Manheim F, Krantz D, Bratton J. 2004. Studying Ground Water Under Delmarva Coastal Bays Using Electrical Resistivity. Ground Water. 42(7):1052-1068
Fresh ground water is widely distributed in subsurface sediments below the coastal bays of the Delmarva Peninsula. These conditions were revealed by nearly 300 km of streamer resistivitysurveys, utilizing a towed multichannel cable system. Zones of high resistivity displayed by inversion modeling were confirmed by vibradrilling investigations to correspond to fresh ground water occurrences.
