Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Electrical Earth Resistivity Surveys Near Brine Holding Ponds in Illinois
The resistivity surveys clearly indicate the direction and extent of salt water migration around the holding ponds. Apparent resistivity measurements can be used to approximate quality of the ground water because there is a direct relationship between the resistivity and water quality. This relationship can be used to indicate relative salinities; however, the relationship should be used with caution in making estimates of water salinity. Brine migration has not affected the regional water quality, and appears to be of limited regional significance. Studies of water chemistry from observation wells at the selected holding pond sites indicated that some attenuation of the brine is occurring.
