| ABSTRACT: | Description of the TDEM method and report on a feasibility study on the applicability of the TDEM method in detecting sea-water intrusion into fresh-water aquifers. It was found that absolute resistivity values varying between 0.5 - 1.5 ohm-m are typical for seawater intrusion. These are different from any other resistivity values which stem from other known lithology and/or salinity combinations. The TDEM method has proved to be a reasonable accurate technique for detection of a freshwater/seawater interface in carbonate, and particularly, coastal aquifers. |
