8.Deep crustal research Magneto-telluric (MT) surveying is a passive geophysical method used to investigate subsurface electrical resistivity by measuring naturally occurring electromagnetic fields.
It is based on the measurement of electric and magnetic fields of currents flowing freely through the ground and having a frequency range of 0-1 Hz for natural sources or 1-90 kHz with the use of a controlled source. After these measurements the apparent resistivity at each point is obtained. This technique is widely applied in groundwater exploration to identify aquifers, fracture zones, and lithological variations.
MT surveys utilize low and higher-frequency signals , making them effective for shallow and depth to intermediate depth investigations.
Field data is acquired using electric and magnetic sensors placed strategically on the ground surface.
The recorded signals are processed to generate resistivity profiles of subsurface layers.
Low-resistivity zones often indicate potential groundwater-bearing formations.The method proved highly effective in selecting optimal borewell locations.
