Groundwater resources development for a sustainable water supply in developing countries: A case study of Ghana by Victor Ofori Agyemang

“…Poor selection and application of geophysical methods, shallow drilling depths above productive fractured zones, complete reliance on thin shallow aquifers, poor construction of drilled boreholes, lack of maintenance of mechanized boreholes, and limited aquifer recharge in some parts of the country are some of the potential causes of frequent borehole drilling failure, low borehole yields, and drying up of hand-dug wells and some boreholes during the dry seasons. …”

Analysis of some error-causing factors in two-dimensional geoelectrical studies and providing a solution to minimize them by Hosein Moghaddasi, Mohsen Moghaddasi, Ahmad Neyamadpour

“…Nowadays with the introduction of newer technologies such as automatic electrode switching geoelectric equipment and also switch boxes, the suggested optimal method can be implemented more easily. Geoelectrical surveys with this method (n=1 and intermittent increase of the electrode distance) may reduce the speed of the operation and be less economical for contractors, but the results of the geoelectrical studies conducted with this method are much more reliable Figure 6. shows one of the case studies in which authors used above suggested method and the results were excellent and RMS was very low. …”
