Groundwater table level changes based on ground penetrating radar images: a case study

Abstract

A ground penetrating radar has been used to estimate the depth of groundwater table. The GPR measurements were conducted on esker deposits along the same profile and repeated five times during the year in autumn, spring, two times in summer and again in autumn. A shielded transmitting antenna with a nominal frequency of 250 MHz was used during the surveys. The accuracy of ground penetrating radar measurements to estimate the depth of groundwater occurrence is discussed in this paper. The results of estimation of groundwater table from GPR is compared with the level of groundwater table measured in piezometer.
