Abstract

To evaluate limestone rocks from the hydrogeological point of view and indicating optimum
 resistivities for dry and wet conditions an electrical resistivity ,study was performed in 34 locations
 surrounding Sulaimani, Kirkuk and Arbil cities. About 181 VES points were conducted using
 Shlumberger configuration. The authors selected six geological formations composed of limestone rock
 ibr this purpose.The field data u,as interpreted manually Using Ebert method and by the aid of computer
 using IPI2rvin anci Resixplus software. The optimum ranges of resistivity magnitudes have been
 determined for these geological formations in both wet condition (Forming aquifers) and dry condition
 (forming aquicludes). Among the studied formations Pila Spi. Sinjar and Aqra are appearing to be most
 suitable for making aquifers, While Kometan. Balambo and Qamchuqa Formations are frequently
 aquicludes.
