Dear Members
I am looking for a suitable treatment method for high pH water (greater than
10). It is originated from Oman Ophiolite as the product of modern, low
temperature serpentinization.
Below, I am giving the range of chemical constituents in this water samples
EC (microS/cm) - 500 -20,000
pH - 10 - 13
HCO3 - 0 -700 ppm
CO3 - 2 - 100 ppm
Cl - 75 - 4700 ppm
SO4 - 10 - 700 ppm
Ca - 1 - 1000 ppm
Mg - 1 - 50 ppm
Na - 40 - 3080 ppm
K - 2 - 622 ppm
Can anyone please send me the information about treatment methods and relevant
reprints?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Rajmohan

I have seen many areas where the water level cuts the topography and huge amount
of seepage occurs
In certain areas there are temporary flowing wells
Such wells are seen even in hyderabad
I am trying to search for a video recording that i have made two years ago and
i will try to upload that as an attachment for all of us to see.

subsurface there is composed of fractured limestone (The White Limestone
Formation), with an average effective porosity not more than 3%. It is easy
to calculate that the rainfall of 1 m with such a porosity could locally
produce the rise of levels between 30 and 40 m. The recession was much
slower due to low transmissivity of the limestone. Land (ground surface) is
of course composed of very permeable limestone formations with not too much

Dear Vijayakumar,
Good. The area of godavari valley is occupied by fresh-water fluviatile
sediments ofthe lower gondwana sequence sequence of rocks.
Coming to the point of study reasons to be find out from:
You check the following:
1. slope of the terrain from canal towards to the observation well
2. regional slope of the terrain
3. dip and thickness of the sandstone bed and fracture/joint pattern in the
area of study
4. sequence of the formations present and especially next below the sst
5. at what level the present well present
6. observe the weathering depth of the formation in the area
finally: 7.observe the records of rainfall and water level fluctuation in the
area before and after the canal excavation and during the canal flow times and
nonflow times
8. observe the relationship of between the rainfall and water level
fluctuations
with this analysis you could get the answers.
Best of luck
yours

Dear Vijayakumar,
Good, Geologically that area is underlined by fresh-water fluviatile sediments
of lower gondwana sequence group of rocks. Tirupati sandstone itself is a good
aquifer.
1. the groundwater level rose by about 18 metres from September to Novemeber
(post monsoon seson) in two increments seperated by a week. This has not been
experienced since 2002.
2. The ground level is about + 45 m and The water level rose from -13 m to + 5
m above mean sea level.
2. The previous year's high was about 8 m below the present high. Both highs
occur with in a week after end of rainfall event.
3.Previously, when ever a gap of one week in rainfall is there, there was
recession in levels, where as now the recession limb is not falling like that
and daily pumping fluctuations in water levels were not so visible as they were
earlier. This seasons rainfall is about 50% more than that of last year, which
recorded normal rainfall.
Fom the given information, i wish to inform you that you see the local dip of
the formation, joint pattern in the excavated canal and slope of the terrain
towards the well location from the canal. You observe the rainfall vs water
level records of before the excavation of canal, see the withdrawl rate in the
local area and analyse the issue acccordingly.
For all of your above queries, If the water flown in the canal, that might
have given recharge in the area during 2002, but might not have been in previous
year. you observe the record of water levels and rainfall and water flown in
cananl.
best of luck

This years rainfall in Bangalore has created the raise in the vadose ground
water level. Earlier the GWT was around 10 to 20 meters BGL when there were open
wells. Now a days the GWT has gone done to more than 30 to 40 meters in
Bangalore. Last month one of my friends garage was flooded due to the raise in
GWT of his bore well and several cases has been reported. However it was a
temporary phenomenon.

Dear Vijayakumar,
May I know the local geological, topographical, Geomorphological, structural
conditiions of the terrain ?
I wish to know the exact location of the observation.
And also, we should know the recent excavation distance from the existing ob
well, depth of excavation and topographical condition.
We should see the rainfall history of the area.

Dear Mr. Rakesh Dippal,
I feel to inform you that you can go for participatory hydrological monitoring
of groundwater in an easy manner. Only thing you require for this to do is
procure water level indicator and insert in the bore wells that are available in
that region. Preferably, you choose any of the hydrological unit like watershed
or river basin which you can attain reasonable details regarding its flow,
levels with reference to space and time. You need to fix the time intervals that
you need to monitor according to your specific study and requirements. Hope this
clarifies your requirements. for further information you can also refer the

Hi,
You need a waterlevel recorder and an inventory of open wells, dug wells and
tube wells already drilled. Again you need to know about the stratigraphic
succession in the project area and its analysis. I think you needs to mention
the objective of the monitoring too.

Dear Prof R.J. Rao
Good to know that you have developed geophysical methods which have wide
applications - I would like to know whether you have published them, if you
have, kindly give me details. Otherwise publish them and take a patent
preferably US

http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrm/message/21 on "Groundwater
study - Electrical resistivity methods - Theoretical master curves -
Curve matching software".
The subsurface structure at any given point at the surface (by way
of finding true resistivity and thickness of horizontal geological
layers) could be determined fairly accurately by matching field
curves of electrode spacing and apparent resistivity obtained by
Wenner/Schlumberger method with any of the available albums of
master curves.
Curve matching used to be performed in the past by matching the
field curve drawn on a transparent logarithmic graph paper with one
or other of a master curve chosen from an album. Very often the
exact match between the field curve and the appropriate master curve
could be obtained only by appropriate manipulation of field curve. I
could however have access to an album of master curves when I
attended a UNESCO-sponsored course, seminar and tour in the Moscow
State University during 1978. I shall be happy to share the album
with Srinivasa Rao or any other participant of this group finding
use with it.
Most commercial firms have now access to sophisticated curve
matching software programmes which allow for accurate interpretation
of resistivity data and thereby avoid subjective errors. In view of
their high commercial value, these software programmes are not made
available in the Internet on free basis.
I have been using electrical resistivity methods in conjunction with
other exploration methods since 1968 as a part of a training
programme to students and less-educated youth for locating
particularly pipeline-like fractures carrying artesian/ confined
groundwater within hard rocks of south India. As curve matching
methods are cumbersome, costly, time-consuming and prone for
subjective errors, I found it extremely convenient to make use of an
adaptation of an inverse slope method to obtain thickness and true
resistivity of horizontal geological formations just by using a
pocket calculator and thereby avoid preparation of any field curve
and curve matching. The methodology has been so simplified that it
could be taught even to less-educated people to become successful
barefoot geologists/geophysicists. Many water diviners who make use
of gadgets such as twig, coconut and pendulum in locating
groundwater found it advantageous to practice these scientific
methods also to achieve a higher success rate. The cost of
exploration could be made sufficiently low by the prospector
visiting the field with the equipment almost alone by training the
local people to assist him in the survey.
This understanding of the subsurface structure is useful not only in
the exploration of minerals, oil & natural gas and groundwater but
also in geotechnical engineering, watershed management and
artificial groundwater recharge. This knowledge is particularly
helpful to those engaged in watershed management works to identify
sites best suited for artificial recharge of groundwater through
maximising infiltration from those best suited for rainwater
harvesting for domestic use/ drinking/ irrigation by maximising
surface runoff. It is worthwhile for NGOs engaged in such works to
procure the necessary equipment besides training their staff to take
up such surveys.
I shall be happy to impart training to NGOs/ individuals who can
come and stay at Tirupati for some time in electrical resistivity
and other scientific exploration methods, which I have developed
during the past 37 years.

Dear Researchers,
I have been exploring for the last few days, but i did not find any software
related to curve matching of Electrical resistivity methods of
wenner/schlumberger arrays in groundwater study.
I had studied in some literature, they have used Russian software IPI7.63 or
Resist softwares. But i could not find them any concerned information where they
will be available.
What's my humble request is :
1. if any one knows about the latest software to be useful to find out the
thickness and resistance of layers of subsurface from curve matching study from
master curves of wenner/schlumberger arrays.
2. or at least any one finds the master curves available in softcopy at any
website or with any one personnel ?
Thanking you,
yours faithfully,
Y. Srinivasa rao
