Abstract
Aquifer demarcation is essential thing for socioeconomic activities like
irrigation, domestic and industrial uses. Farmers and rural people who are
dependent on agricultural land, causing externalities and implications on
labour scarcity, ground water depletion, welfare loss and inefficiency. Hydrogeological
and Geophysical studies are carried out in Lakhmapur village, to know the
groundwater availability which is based on analysis and assessment for
convenience of groundwater, where resistivity anomalies are validated with
groundwater available in weathered zones at the interface between the
overburden and bedrock. Due to heterogeneity in lithological units, the
electrical resistivity also varies locally. In the present study, the three-
layer sounding curves are found to be of two types, depending on the
resistivity values, these are AA and HA types. Depth to basement in Lakhmapur
village, varies from 8.616 m. to 12.13 m, at the confluence of village, the
depth of the basement is maximum at about 12.13 m, it seems good groundwater
zones. Depths are 7.712 m to 8.616 m in west side and depths are 10.17 m to
12.13 m in east side of study area, which are also seems good groundwater zones.
