Improving Water Security in Mon State, Myanmar

Geophysical Data

The IRIS DC-Resistivity instrument is combined with a switching unit that uses several multi-core cables to transfer current into metal electrode arrays, typically made of stainless steel and 50–100 cm long. Tens to hundreds of electrodes are typically used. The current is injected into one…

Past Work

While other organizations have done water supply work in southeastern Myanmar (including DC-Resistivity geophysics), our project is the only…

DC-Resistivity Geophysical Equipment

A range of geophysical methods can be used to search for underground water for domestic supply. One of the simplest techniques is DC-resistivity, which images the subsurface resistivity contrasts resulting from water present in underground soil or rock. The method…
