| For ground water studies, MSI systems characterize aquifers and aquitards, estimate potential yield, generate parameters for hydrogeological models, such as water quality as a function of depth, and determine aquifer thickness. Logs are also used to calculate interval-specific hydraulic conductivity. Read Sopris Signals Vol. 3 No.1 "Estimate Hydrogeologic parameters with MGX II Loggers" for details. Borehole
geophysics is a frequently applied, cost effective method, for obtaining data
needed for several phases of hydrogeologic environmental investigations.
Geophysical well logging provides information on the geologic frame-work and the
groundwater system at disposal sites. Log data can be used to plan the location
of pits, trenches and monitoring wells. Logs can provide specific information on
completion problems in monitor or injection wells. Logging provides more
continuous data on the vertical and lateral distribution of effluent from waste
than can be obtained from samples at a lower cost. Logs can also be used for
monitoring changes in water quality. In order to plan a cost effective
remediation program a thorough understanding of the hydrogeologic system is
necessary and much of the needed information can be obtained economically from
well logs. Bibliography of Borehole Geophysics as Applied to Ground-Water Hydrology
