Abstract

 

This study was carried out to determine a theoretical relationship between geo-electrical data and hydraulic parameters by modifying the theories previously developed in laboratories and up-scaling the processes of pore network structures into field scale parameters. A linear relationship between transmissivity and formation factor has been developed and consequently tested on data from a typically hard rock terrain found in the Jangaon sub-watershed, Andhra pradesh, India.

 

Key words: Aquifer characterization, geo-electrical data, formation factor.
