Geophysical Tools Using in Groundwater Exploration Research on Geophysical Tools Using in Groundwater Exploration The success of a well depends to a great extent on how and where it is constructed. Prospecting for groundwater is the process that leads to an understanding of the nature and the dynamics of the water resources. This process is a series of steps, carried out using various tools, enabling the prospector to optimize the borehole or well and to estimate the useful life of the groundwater resources.
