Preliminary Assessment of Different Methods for Bedrock Water Well Location and Evaluation

摘要

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a proton precession magnetometer for locating fractures in bedrock having a potential for high yield water wells, and geophysical bore hole logging (caliper, electric, and gamma ray) of wells to assess their profile characteristics and the possibility for guiding modifications intended to produce higher yields. Field testing of more than 21 different sites with the magnetometer and 23 individual wells provided extensive data from different geologic, hydrologic, and man-made conditions.
