Vertical Electrical Sounding for Groundwater Appraisal for Balochistan Forest and Wildlife Department, Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan.

Information Release No. 828. Geological Survey of Pakistan.

In response to a request by the Chief Conservator, Balochistan Forest & Wildlife Department, three vertical electrical soundings were conducted by GSP to study the subsurface lithology in context to the groundwater potential in the premises of Hazarganji Recreational Park Quetta. The findings indicate that within the explored depth Quaternary gravels/semi weathered/fractured hard rock hold potential for potable water at two probe sites. At third site, limited groundwater yield is inferred likely to be caused by increasing finer matrix in the gravels.
