Abstract

Favorability analysis has been applied as a method to reduce the exploratory risk in groundwater exploration. The analysis was carried out in the outcropping areas of Tubarao Group, between the cities of Campinas and Sorocaba. The study area was chosen because of its geological complexity and the consequent lower predictability of well behavior before drilling. To apply this method, we considered as “mineralized” areas those regions with highest specific capacity values, taking also into account variables such as sandstone percentage, faults distribution, field altitude and electrical conductivity. The results demonstrate that the region encompassing the Tiete city and that between the cities of Elias Fausto and Monte Mor present the best potential for groundwater exploration.
