Detection of water by electrical conductivity measurements
A quick, easy and inexpensive to detect groundwater in semi-arid rocky areas would choose more precisely where to dig a well, and improve the supply of drinking water in developing nations.
P.D. Sreedevi, Dewashish Kumar and Shakeel Ahmed of Geophysical Research Institute in Hyderabad, India, have shown how the electrical conductivity at certain points of the rocky terrain, recorded before and after the monsoon season, can reveal differences that let you know where water accumulates in underground natural tanks.
