The geoelectrical method, particularly the vertical resistivity technique, is extensively utilized in numerous studies, especially for groundwater exploration and analysis. Predominantly, the Schlumberger (SC) array is employed in these applications. This study seeks to identify an alternative electrode configuration for delineating subsurface features and to effectively compare various electrode arrangements within the one-dimensional (1D) technique. In addition to the SC array, this research evaluates the classical Wenner Alpha (WA), Wenner Beta (WB), and dipole-dipole (DD) arrays. Over a measurement length of approximately 100 meters, the WB and SC arrays demonstrated preferable delineation of subsurface properties compared to the others. These arrays exhibited enhanced performance in signal strength, vertical sensitivity and resolution, and depth of investigation. Therefore, in addition to the SC array, the WB array serves as a viable alternative for vertical geoelectrical surveys. Nonetheless, further studies with extended measurement ranges are necessary to confirm these findings and assess their applicability in larger-scale surveys.
Los métodos geoeléctricos, particularmente el sondeo eléctrico vertical, se utilizan ampliamente en diversos estudios, especialmente en la exploración y análisis de aguas subterráneas. La matriz de Schlumberger predomina en estas aplicaciones. Este estudio busca identificar una configuración de electrodos alternativa para delinear las características bajo la superficie y para comparar efectivamente varias configuraciones de electrodos dentro de la técnica unidimensional. Además de la matriz de Schlumberger, este artículo evalúa las clásicas matrices de Wenner Alpha, Wenner Beta y dipolo-dipolo. En una medición de aproximadamente 100 metros de longitud las matrices de Wenner Beta y de Schlumberger mostraron delineaciones preferibles de propiedades bajo la superficie en comparación con las otras. Estas matrices mostraron desempeño mejorado en fortaleza de señal, sensibilidad vertical y resolución y profundidad de la investigación. Además de la matriz de Schlumberger, la matriz de Wenner Beta sirve como una alternativa viable para los sondeos verticales geoeléctricos. Sin embargo, se necesitan estudios con mayores rangos de medida para confirmar estos hallazgos y medir su aplicabilidad en sondeos a mayor escala.
