Abstract
ABSTRACT The most important contribution of geophysics to hydrogeological investigations in Israel is in the construction of the structural map of the top of the limestone and dolomite aquifers in the foothills region. This work was undertaken mainly by electrical resistivity methods aided by data from a few wells and gravimetric data. The knowledge gained from this investigation helped in the location of other deep wells as well as in the preparation of water development and supply plans. Important assistance was also obtained from electrical resistivity methods in the location of alluvial aquifers in the Arava valley in southern Israel as well as in the location of down-faulted limestone and dolomite blocks in the same region. The subsurface mapping of saline groundwater bodies by geoelectrical methods is in progress in some areas. The application of geoelectrical methods in the search for water in basaltic terrains is also underway. In general it can be stated that: geophysics, especially the induced r...
