onitoring a deep fresh-saline water interface using repeatVertical Electrical Soundings measurements
Monitoring deep (~100 – 200 m) fresh-saline water interface is a challenge because of the low spatial density of deep boreholes. In this project, Vertical Electrical Soundings measurements were used to evaluate changes in the depth of the interface over various decades. Water quality monitoring is a well-known application of geo-electrical measurements but generally applies to the relatively shallow subsurface. In this case study, the saline groundwater interface is around 120 -200 m deep, and the time interval between the measurements is several tens of years.
