Research Abstract

We develop new measurement and analytical method of electromagnetic survey, in order to visualize hydro-geological structure and to detect non-uniform soil water flow like preferential flow, with higher resolution and sensitivity. We surveyed the subsurface phenomena caused by water and air flow through soil using cross-borehole ground penetrating radar. Especially to detect tiny change in soil, we proposed the monitoring technique based on the simultaneous measurement system using Opt-Electrical sensors and on the waveform analysis technique for scattered electromagnetic wave from preferential flow. Finally we conducted the demonstrative tests for proposed methods.
