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.

In order to obtain the maximum benefit from geophysical logging methods it is necessary to understand the basic principles of the many tools commonly used in the environmental and ground water fields and the most effective log analysis techniques.
