  Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) methods are successfully used to delineate the geometry of different hydrogeological targets to determine porosity of saline and freshwater zones. TDEM can be used to determine both fluid resistivities (ρw) and bulk resistivities (ρ) which are required to calculate the porosity by applying Archie’s equation. By studying saline water intrusion near coastal zone, where ρw and ρ can be determined very accurately by applying TDEM method. From the literature review, it is revealed that the TDEM method is the most suitable geophysical technique for seawater intrusion. TDEM technique is very sensitive to high conductive (low resistivity) zones hence this technique can be applied to study the saltwater intrusion into the fresh water aquifers. Therefore, the aim of the presence study is to find out the porosity of saline water zone for t.. View More»
