Abstract


The present study deals with resistivity variations with depth at three different locations in the K.U. Krukshetra. Out of these, one survey was made in a plane area where there is variation in resistivity due to excess flow of water by flooding or irrigation in the past. In this case resistivity is low at a certain depth of 1.85-2.49m due to presence of moisture content. Another survey was near a canal which shows that how the seepage from a canal can lower the resistivity of nearby surrounding area. And the third survey was near a dump site. In the nearby area of this dump site the resistivity has been lowered due the percolation of solid and liquid waste material. Like this human activities are very much affecting the variation in resistivity values of the subsurface.
