Geoelectrical applications with GeoSeeker
The geoelectrical detector OKM GeoSeeker can be used to detect underground water resources as well as hidden cavities. Both structures can be located due to the specific characteristics of electrical resistivity.
Water detection
Underground water resources have good electrical conductivity and measuring its resistivity will result in low apparent resistivity values. The capability of water detection is very useful for
- dowsers, water finders
- well builders, drilling companies
- agriculture, fruit growing
- mining, building contractors
Detectable subsurface water deposits could be
- groundwater level
- freshwater, drinking water
- underground watercourse, water veins
- underground water streams, headwaters
Cavity detection
Hidden cavities and hollow spaces have a rather poor electrical conductivity and measuring its resistivity will result in high apparent resistivity values. The capability of cavity detection is useful for
- archaeologists, historians
- treasure hunters
- geotechnical engineering
- military services
- building contractors
Detectable subsurface cavities could be
- caves, tunnels
- galleries and manholes
- chambers, sepulchers, tombs
- bunkers, vaults, cellars, rooms
For measurements, up to 250 meters (820 ft) deep consider our more powerful geoelectric detector GeoSeeker.
