Gopali, a small village on the outskirts of Kharagpur, has some clean drinking water requirements. Hence, the goal of the study was to determine the depth of the aquifer in this location that would generate a large volume of water, so that a tube well could be drilled and provide enough water for the settlement. As a result, we identified seven favorable locations for Vertical Electrical Soundings in order to better understand the area's subsurface geology and assess the probability of an aquifer (VES1 to VES 7 respectively). The study dealt with the collection of resistivity data, assessing it, and survey the aquifer layers using this method. In this situation, the electrode spacing was determined using a Schlumberger electrode approach. IGIS DDR3 DC resistivity meter with 600m transverse extension (AB) was used to conduct the exploration at Gopali, block Kharagpur-I, Paschim Midnapore distr...

In this situation, the electrode spacing was determined using a Schlumberger electrode approach. IGIS DDR3 DC resistivity meter with 600m transverse extension (AB) was used to conduct the exploration at Gopali, block Kharagpur-I, Paschim Midnapore district, West Bengal, India. Because of the significant lateral expansion, over 150m of current penetration data was recorded. Clay-sand intercalations with medium to fine-grained sand were discovered in this sedimentary area, and these alterations were mostly observed between 70 and 150 meters.

Dakshinpara being a small village has some demands of clean drinking water. Therefore, we chose 15 places for Vertical Electrical Soundings in order to assess the subsurface geology of the area and to evaluate the possibility of an aquifer in the region (VES1 to VES 15 respectively). Resistivity data was taken, evaluated, and aquifer layers were surveyed using this method, which was the key objective here. In this case, a Schlumberger electrode methodology of electrode spacing was employed. The exploration was carried out in Dakshinpara, block Raghunathganj-I, Murshidabad district, West Bengal, India, using IGIS DDR3 DC resistivity meter with 800m lateral extension (AB). As the lateral extension was large so nearly 180-200m current penetration data was obtained. Being a sedimentary area, clay-sand intercalations with medium grained sand were found and these alterations mainly existed within the depth of 60-200m ranging from medium to fine sand. As per the analysis, points S1, S3, S5, S8, S9, S11, S12 and S15 were found fit for drilling encountering high potential aquifers as the 2 nd layer is composed of clay-medium sand unlike the clay-fine sand layer for the rest points.

Hence, in order to study the subsurface geology of the area and in order to investigate the aquifer presence in the area, we selected 8 points namely S1 to S8 for Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES1 to VES8 respectively). Using this method, resistivity data was collected, interpreted and aquifer strata were explored which is the main aim here. Schlumberger electrode configuration was used here. IGIS DDR3 DC resistivity meter was used to carry out the exploration in Chapabandi mouza, Durgapur, District Burdwan, West Bengal having lateral extension of 600m (AB). Hence the penetration depth of current was nearly 160-170m. It was established that a deeper claysand stratum exists comprising of medium to fine grained sand at points S2, S4and S7 where drilling up to 150-160m was recommended.
