Abstract

This research employed vertical electrical sounding (VES) technique to determine the protective capacity of groundwater aquifers in Bahri city, Sudan. The protective capacity predicts the degree of vulnerability of the aquifers to surface and subsurface contamination. In the study, the product of inverted true resistivity and thickness were used to measure Dar Zarrouk parameters of longitudinal conductance and transverse resistance. Consequently, the longitudinal conductance-based protective capacity is used to assess the vulnerability of shal- low and deep groundwater aquifers. In general, the protective capacity of the overburdened sediments ranged from poor to good. Accordingly, the aquifer in the study region is indicated as naturally protected and ideal for groundwater development.
