Q: How does the Seismo electric system AquaLocate
manufactures and provides groundwater survey with work?
A: The GF3500 and a
seismic source are used together to generate and collect the seismo electric
signal. The seismic source is used to create a sound wave (pulse). When the
sound wave moves through aquifers the water in the aquifer moves relative to
the rock formation. Ions in the water are dragged away from their partners
bound to the rock and the electrical disturbance created travels to the surface
at the speed of light and is detected by the antenna array.
Each signal is
separated in time from its neighbors by the propagation time of the down going
seismic pulse. This gives unambiguous depth and thickness data, as with
reflection seismic. The form of each signal gives information about the depth,
thickness and quality of the aquifer and this is used to estimate the likely
yield from a water well drilled at the survey site.
