Results of works carried out via electrical exploration method for searching groundwater sources suitable for drinking and household use in the debris cone of Turyanchay river

The paper deals with the exploration works conducted via electrical exploration method for searching groundwater sources suitable for drinking and household use in the debris cone area of Turyanchay river. As a results of carried out studies, the areas with groundwater sources suitable for drinking and household use are marked, lithological content and depth of water horizons specified as well. With the aim of estimation of fresh groundwater reserves in the debris cone area of Turyanchay river suitable for drinking, ρf and geological-geophysical sections have been developed due to the geophysical surveys executed via vertical electrical sounding (VES) methods. To specify the lithology of the rocks and reveal formations with reservoir properties, logging operations have been carried out. The thickness of clay formations comprising the sections increases from the north-west to the south-east; alongside with this due to the alternations of gravel sediments with clay rocks the specific electrical resistence of the rocks decreases. As a result of exploration of water sources suitable for drinking in the debris cone of Turyanchay river, the water content of the rocks in mentioned area has been studied to the depth of 285 m, the prospective zones of fresh and less mineralized groundwater marked, initial reserves estimated and prospective zones for accurate surveys specified as well.
