Abstract

The Gul River watershed situated in the North-West region of district called Jalgaon in Maharashtra State  has been explored with the help of VES method for identifications of groundwater locations. The vertical  electrical soundings had been implemented in total 15 locations covering entire area understudy. This  study played an important role in identifying potential groundwater zones and the behavior of aquifers in  and around the trap rock. During the study, IX1Dv.3 software was used for interpretations and curve  matching techniques were adopted using vertical electrical sounding data to develop each sound layer  model. It has been observed that pseudo cross section and resistivity cross section were mapped using  IPI2WIN software and big five cross sections were created.This paper consist comparison with the existing  bore well along with tube well logging data.The observations noticed during the study indicated that, Tapi  alluvium formation has been highly suitable zone as per compare to trap.
