Vertical Electrical Sounding
By using this electric method it is possible to know the in depth distribution of apparent resistivities under a studied location. It is used to detect and establish limits of horizontal layers in subsurface. Depending on the project's objective its the electrode configuration that is chosen to realize the Vertical Electrical Sounding.

Applications
-Locating groundwater aquifers and determining their depth and extent.
-Identifying zones with saline or fresh water.
-Assessing subsurface properties for construction purposes.
-Evaluating the suitability of sites for foundations, dams, and tunnels.
-Detecting contamination plumes and monitoring pollutant migration.
-Mapping the subsurface for landfill and waste disposal management.
-Identifying mineralized zones and ore bodies.
-Differentiating between overburden and ore layers.
