Aquifer Exploration in Canada by Geophysical Methods
Several field tests were carried out during 1961 by members of the Geological Survey of Canada to develop and compare geophysical methods for the mapping of aquifers. The methods compared here – seismic, surface resistivity, and electrologging – were selected because they are in common use by consulting engineering firms. This article discusses the application of seismic methods in the glacial and Paleozoic rocks of eastern Canada, of resistivity methods in one prairie location in glacial drift, and of one electrologging program in glacial material and Cretaceous rocks in Alberta, Canada. A comparison is then made of these three methods which were used to outline a part of the preglacial Missouri valley near Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada.
