Abstract


Using three layer general aquifer model (GAM) it has been established that the most dominant parameter for guiding the direction of the current at basement aquifer interface and why direct and inverse relations exist between hydraulic conductivity and electrical resistivity. Software package Matlab is used for SVA that has fixed the most dominant parameter, transverse electrical unit resistance, in case of conducting third layer and longitudinal electrical unit conductance, in cas e of resistive third layer of GAM. Two examples of hydraulic parameter estimation from electrical parameter are included as examples
