Identification of aquifer layer using method of geo-electric resistivity in Tampabatu Village, Ampana Tete Sub-districts

The study was conducted using geo-electric method to identify the groundwater aquifer layer and depth which is below the surface based on the resistivity value. The purpose of this research is to know the aquifer which is identified by 3 point of measurement expanse. The research method used is geo-electric resistivity method and measurement technique used is Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) with Schlumberger configuration. Data processing using Progress Version 3.0 software is performed to obtain the distribution of the earth surface subsurface type resistance. Based on the results obtained aquifer coating on the resistivity value ranged from 30 Ωm-58 Ωm with the value of formation factor 2-3 which is a free aquifer layer and aquifer medium. The aquifer layer is detected at a depth of ± 12.08 m up to ± 100 m below ground level (bgl).
