Abstract
The basic mathematical fowldation for the vertical electrical sounding
method has been presented by deriving the formula for the potential distribution at
the surface of a horizontally stratified earth. The apparent resistivity and its
relation with resistivity transform function has been shown particularly for
. Sci umberger Configuration. The theoretical background for resistivity inversion
with the ridge regression technique has been explained following the method of
IIIDlan.
On the basis of the above theoretical consideration the electrical resistivity
method has been applied for ground water exploration and possible site for
borehole location in South Western Butajira Area, Southern Ethiopia. To do th is
survey along three profi le lines were taken with a total of 20 YES points out of
which 15 were analyzed in detail.
