Application Of 2-D Resistivity And Self-Potential Methods In Delineating Water Flow

Water flow is essential for engineers when constructing any form of structure. A vital factor to consider is water flows through the soil can impact the engineering and environmental aspects. In recent years, the self-potential (SP) method was rarely found in dealing with the water flow issue. In th...
