Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Groundwater Hydrology

Subtopic: Groundwater occurrence

Question Statement:

In surface electrical resistivity surveys for groundwater exploration (Schlumberger and Wenner electrode arrays):

Options:

  • (A) Current is injected into the ground through outer electrodes $A$ and $B$
  • (B) Potential drop is measured across inner electrodes $M$ and $N$
  • (C) Apparent resistivity $\rho_a = K \frac{\Delta V}{I}$ where $K$ is the geometric configuration factor
  • (D) Direct current cannot be used under any circumstances

Answer Key:

A, B, C

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

DC or low-frequency AC is applied through outer current electrodes A, B, and potential difference is measured across inner potential electrodes M, N.
