Abstract

The geophysical prospecting, hydro-geological survey and a geological drilled borehole with the depth of 200 meters are used to ascertain the aquifer structure, hydro-geological conditions and preliminary hydro-geological parameters in an industrial plant project of East Africa. The magneto-telluric sounding method in combined with the borehole electrical logging method is adopted to analyze the ground water and hydro-geological parameters. The results show that the water abundance is very poor, and the estimated water flow in this area, even under the depth of 200 meters, is not enough to satisfy the production demand of this industrial plant.
