Abstract
Direct current (DC) Schlumberger resistivity sounding and dipole-dipole resistivity profiling experiments were conducted at the border of an 2.2 long×1 km wide open waste disposal site in central Jordan. The site is on an approximately 20 m thick limestone, chert and chalk rock sequence and is surrounded by a series of hills. Lying upstream of an urban area, agricultural land and numerous groundwater wells, any contamination spreading from the waste disposal site could have a serious effect on the people and the environment. In this study, the subsurface resistivity distribution was mapped and compared with the data obtained from boreholes and aerial photographs. DC resistivity methods were found to be a fast and inexpensive data collection tool. The results obtained will be of use for engineering preparations and the operation of the site, as well as for monitoring any future pollution.
