| description | Geophysical resistivity technique; vertical electrical sounding (VES)/earth resistivity test (ERT) was carefully done at 35 locations in a hard rock terrain of Tamil Nadu, India to evaluate natural resources such as groundwater, economic mineral deposits, etc., Data acquisition was done by CRM-500 Aquameter along with GPS, topographic map, Brunton compass, measuring tape, field notebook, hammer, iron rods (electrodes), and batteries. Furthermore, the major four subsurface layers’ thickness, resistivity, and pseudo-section profiles were identified from the resistivity dataset using IPI2WIN. The resistivity curve type is also evaluated from the consecutive subsurface layers' resistivities. These can be helpful in groundwater potential zone identification studies. The entire dataset from this research can be useful in groundwater exploration, management, economic mineral exploration, waste disposal sites, reservoir, and dam site selections, and identifying the structural controls such as fractures, joints, buried anticlines, etc., The data also can be coupled with other regional geological and geophysical datasets for many natural resource exploration and exploitation studies. |
