GEOPHYSICS ELECTRICAL CHARACTERIZATION FOR IDENTIFICATION OF SEAWATER INTRUSION IN THE COASTAL AREA OF PAPAR, SABAH

Seawater intrusion is known to be a major problem that influencesthe quality of groundwaterwithin coastal regions globally. The groundwater table within the coastal area is usually close to the ground surface due to low topography or human development activities such as land reclamation and man-made drainage systems that keep the water table at constant low level. Electrical resistivity method is one of the geophysical methods that has been extensively used to investigate seawater intrusion due to the high electrical conductivity contrast produced by saline water. Papar, Sabah is located at th... Mehr ...
