Article Synopsis
- Groundwater resources in Pakistan are facing depletion and quality issues due to over-extraction and urbanization, prompting a study of the hydrostratigraphical and hydraulic conditions in the Thal Doab region of Punjab.
- The study utilized electrical resistivity surveys and groundwater sample analysis to map the aquifers, revealing four to six geo-electric sublayers with varying resistivity indicative of different water quality levels.
- Results showed promising areas for fresh groundwater, while lower resistivity areas indicated marginally suitable or saline water, with additional assessments conducted to evaluate the water's suitability for drinking based on WHO guidelines.
