Abstract


A geophysical investigation was carried out in Ranga Reddy Districtto assess the groundwater condition of the area. The method employed in this study was the Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) technique. The data obtained were interpreted by computer iteration process and results when compared with litho logic log from existing borehole indicate four layered formation. The thickness of the aquifer was found to range between 12.0 and 14.9m while the depth was between 12.8 and 28.7m. Boreholes for potable groundwater are therefore Recommended within the forth layer.                                  .
