Abstract:
The aim of the study is to present the principles and procedures of the magneto telluric approach. The resistivity characteristics of the rocks in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi district's Kalugumalai hamlet were the basis for the aquifer investigation. The research region has granitic hard rock, worn gneiss, and black soil. The magneto telluric method will employ resistivity variations to assess the connection of permeable rock and groundwater in land and underground discharges. The natural electromagnetic field strength is determined by the rock structure of the underground earth and its resistivity variations. In order to increase spacing transmission and get more information, two copper electrodes are used for the M and N electrodes. For hydrogeological objectives, the approach has given information on the rocks and structural relationships up to a depth of 300 m. The study demonstrates that fractured and weathered zones in the region have a major role in controlling groundwater occurrence. At the saprock zone, it is very likely that you may run into groundwater. Between the overburden and the bedrock are fractured and weathered zones. The MT approach is efficient for investigating groundwater in a geological setting.
