Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES)
This subsurface exploration technique is based on Ohm's law, in which the relationship between the potential (V), the electric current (I) and the resistance to the passage of materials from the same (R) is established.
The vertical electrical soundings are used in two main ways:
- Wenner, this mode is mainly used for the installation of "Personal Grounds".
- Schlumberger, perhaps the most widely used because it has many applications, among which, the identification of aquifers and the position of groundwater levels, material identification (Lithology and Stratigraphy), permeability and qualitative contact between materials .
