We classify the different approaches in two categories： geophysical methods, e.g., electroresistivity sounding, seismic survey, gravimetry, MT （magnetotelluric） method, and geochemical methods. The former ones are able to provide information on the geological structure,meaning depth, range, amount of water and possible connections among different exploration areas or regions at risk due to contamination. On the other hand, the last ones provide information about the quality of water and the possible of use for agriculture, industry or human consumption. As a case study we aim at the Guarani Aquifer, more specifically at its recharge zone on the southern rim.展开更多
文摘In this paper we discuss ways to obtain information about the quality of ground water and their availability. We classify the different approaches in two categories： geophysical methods, e.g., electroresistivity sounding, seismic survey, gravimetry, MT （magnetotelluric） method, and geochemical methods. The former ones are able to provide information on the geological structure,meaning depth, range, amount of water and possible connections among different exploration areas or regions at risk due to contamination. On the other hand, the last ones provide information about the quality of water and the possible of use for agriculture, industry or human consumption. As a case study we aim at the Guarani Aquifer, more specifically at its recharge zone on the southern rim.
