Document Abstract
A nowadays, geo-environmental study such as soil
contamination analysis, electrical properties of soil, and
geo-technical centrifuge modeling needs a characterization of
soil. This will help in estimation of soil properties, mathematical
and physical modeling, field investigation and some other
detailed phenomenon. In this study, we used a Schlumberger
method for characterization of soil in the water conduit of village
Visarpani, near Mainpat block of Surguja district of
Chhattisgarh, India. In this conduit, water stream climbs itself
towards uphill with the slope of 450
and travels distance about
150 meters in East to West direction and after turns towards
downhill in North to South direction. Experimentally calculated
Schlumberger resistance used in the theoretical calculations for
finding resistivity and conductivity of soil and then predicted the
soil characteristics at different intervals. This study showed that
towards uphill resistivity is decreasing and conductivity is
increasing regarding distance intervals.
