Apparent Resistivities of common ores and rocks

Hey dear reader… How are you? I will be sharing this piece with you because you are on this blog. Wait a minute!!! How much do you know about arrays? Are you a geologist? Are you passionate and want to delve into geology or it’s related fields? Find below the Resistivities of common ores and rocks Apparent Resistivities of common ores and rocks ROCKS                                                                  APPARENT RESISTIVITY( Ω M) Topsoil                                                                   50 – 100 Sand (loose)                                                        500 – 5000 Gravel                                                                    100 – 600 Clay                                                                         1 – 100 Weathered bedrock                                                 100 – 1000 Sandstone                                                           200 – 8000

Groundwater prospecting using 2 L rods.

Groundwater prospecting using 2   L rods. In quest for sustainable water for man’s use, which dates back to life history on Earth, there has been a lot of tools /   gadgets for groundwater prospecting which ranges from the sophisticated to non sophisticated ones. In this post, we will be talking on groundwater prospecting using 2 L rods or fondly called ‘dowsing rods’. This rods / stick is made of copper or brass and shaped in the letter ‘L’. The smaller arm of each of the rods is held in both hands with a small distance of separation between the two hands. All the operator has to do is to walk round. The rods may come together (converge) or diverge. Convergence suggests a flow line.         How much do you know about Gaia's Hypothesis? DISCLAIMER!!!! Be that as it may, the author does not endorse it’s usage. It is only published here for knowledge sake. You are entirely on your own if you rely solely on it.
