Use of the Georadar for Groundwater Table Determination and Mappings of the Territories Polluted with Oil

摘要

The results of theoretical and experimental research of the possibilities of subsurface radar probing with the aim of solving the problems of engineering and geological examinations - determination of the groundwater depth; defining the lithologic composition of the soils in the zone of aeration as well as the depth of occurrence and the thickness of oil product blanket formed as a result of various sort of man-caused leakages are provided. It is demonstrated that use of frequency-scanning radar is capable of successful solving of the above problems providing for a number of essential advantages compared to both traditional methods of geophysical researches and to the use of subsurface probing radars with pulse signals.
