Abstract
AbstractA new method is presented for supplementing data from piezometers to monitor waste disposal sites. This method involves examination of a time sequence of resistivity measurements at fixed points in a disposal area.Spent sulfite liquor moving away from a seepage pit was traced by examining a grid of earth resistivity measurements made before and after dumping had taken place. The method appears to provide results which correlate with specific conductivity of water samples from piezometers provided the following conditions are met: Highly conductive contaminant moving at shallow depth. Water table close to surface. Uniform soil and vegetative conditions. Proper selection of electrode spacings.
