ABSTRACT
Groundwater is a vital resource that plays a pivotal role in sustaining ecosystems and meeting the water demands of communities worldwide. Accurate and efficient methods for groundwater exploration and characterization are essential for resource management and environmental protection. This project presents an innovative approach to groundwater investigation through the application of Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW), a non-invasive geophysical technique traditionally used for subsurface characterization. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of MASW in mapping groundwater resources, estimating aquifer properties. To achieve this goal, we conducted a comprehensive field study in a hydrogeologically complex region. MASW data were collected and processed to generate shear-wave velocity profiles, which were subsequently correlated with hydrogeological parameters. This project underscores the potential of MASW as an innovative and sustainable solution for groundwater investigation, offering a valuable addition to the existing geophysical toolkit for hydrogeologists, environmental scientists, and water resource managers. By improving our understanding of subsurface hydrogeological conditions, MASW contributes to more informed decision-making processes for groundwater resource management and environmental conservation.
