CASE STUDY OF AREAS AROUND VISAKHAPATNAM FOR 2D AND 3D MODELING OF SALINE INTRUSION

Abstract

 Visakhapatnam in the coastal belt area is suffering from saline intrusion water contamination is the main issue for the municipal authorities. Rock / soil resistivity is varying with texture of rock, conductivity of electrolyte and structure of mineralization. The purpose of the present work is to concentrate in areas adjacent to in Visakhapatnam. Combination of Wenner and Schlumberger methods gives correct modeling in 2D – 3D planes. By studying these areas the placement of layer is possible .Thus once the structure is known for data can be processed in 2D -3D modeling which are suitable for studies in disaster management.
