Application of electrical resistivity tomography for groundwater evaluation in Yirgacheffe Town and its environs, Main Ethiopian Rift
Exploring groundwater is crucial in areas with poor surface water quality, such as Yirgacheffe Town and its surroundings. This study aims to assess aquifer materials and groundwater potential using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) in the region, within the Main Ethiopian Rift. Four electrical resistivity profiles were gathered using a Wenner array with a WDA-1 digital resistivity and induced polarization meter from Chongqing, China. Each profile extended 236 m with 4-m electrode spacing. Data were analyzed and inverted with Res2DinV software and validated against lithological logs. The ERT inversion revealed three subsurface geoelectric layers: (1) massive rhyolite ignimbrite and basalt (>2000 Ωm); (2) weathered rhyolite ignimbrite and basalt (200–2000 Ωm); and (3) topsoil (4–200 Ωm). These results are key for effective water resource management and highlight ERT's utility in similar geological settings.
