摘要

由于基岩数据有限,传统地球物理方法覆盖深度不足,在干旱地区(如墨西哥下加利福尼亚州)对小含水层进行评估面临挑战。在许多这样的地区,缺乏与基岩有关的深层钻探数据,这些数据可以用来解释含水层的几何形状。此外,地球物理电方法,如垂直电测深(VES)不能提供足够的深度覆盖。使用频率选择法(FSM)检测器测量电位差的方法在确定含水层几何形状方面具有很大的潜力,但是,如果我们不完全了解该方法,则在分析结果时应谨慎。FSM方法依赖于一种独立选择低可听频率的仪器,将它们一个接一个地绘制成水平图形形式。这就产生了横向电阻率变化的快速定性剖面。与基于点的方法相结合,FSM提供了一种低成本的复杂技术替代方案,花费的时间最少。它的数学原理既可以静态解释,也可以动态解释。在这里,我们强调了这种方法在了解含水层几何形状方面的有效性,即使在地下水的精确位置具有挑战性的情况下也是如此。我们提出了一个研究结果的情况下,卡里萨尔含水层,位于下哈半岛的干旱地区,墨西哥。FSM方法适用于研究含水层基底。与以往的研究相反,我们的结果表明FSM不适合精确量化深度或圈定含水层边界,也不适合精确定位含水层。然而,当与其他方法和地质技术结合充分分析时,它可能是一个很好的选择。由于FSM的速度快,建议在定性分析的基础上进行深度验证。由于地面数据有限,传统方法覆盖深度不够,研究墨西哥下加利福尼亚州南部等干旱地区的小水源面临着重大挑战。许多地区缺乏深层钻探数据,传统技术也无法深入到足够深的地方。频率法(FSM)有望确定这些水源的形状,但结果需要仔细分析。我们对卡里扎尔含水层的研究表明,FSM对于检查含水层底部是有效的,尽管它不能精确地测量深度。为了获得最佳效果,建议将FSM与其他技术结合使用。

Frequency selection method and resistivity measurements for understanding groundwater in arid regions: Case study of the El Carrizal aquifer, Baja California Sur, Mexico
The evaluation of small aquifers in arid regions, like those located in Baja California Sur, Mexico, poses challenges due to limited data on bedrock and inadequate depth coverage from traditional geophysical methods. In many of these regions, there is a lack of deep-drilling data related to bedrock, which could be utilized for interpreting the aquifer's geometry. Additionally, geophysical electric methods such as vertical electric soundings (VES) do not provide adequate depth coverage. The method measuring the potential difference using the Frequency Selector Method (FSM) detector holds great potential in determining the aquifer geometry, however, caution should be taken when we want to analyze the results if the method is not completely understood. The FSM method relies on an instrument that independently selects low audible-range frequencies, plotting them one by one in a horizontal graphical form. This produces a rapid qualitative profile of lateral resistivity changes. Combined with point-based methods, FSM offers a low-cost alternative to complex techniques, with minimal time investment. Its mathematical principles can be interpreted both statically and dynamically. Here, we highlight the efficacy of this methods in understanding aquifer geometry, even in scenarios where the precise location of groundwater is challenging. We present results of a study case of the Carrizal aquifer, situated in an arid region of Baja Peninsula, Mexico. The FSM method is adequate for studying the aquifer basement. Contrary to previous studies, our results indicate that FSM is not suitable for precisely quantifying depth or delineating aquifer boundaries, nor for accurately locating aquifers. However, it can be a good choice when is adequately analyzed in conjuction with other methods and geological techniques. Qualitative analysis supplemented with in - depth verification, is suggested due to FSM's speed.

Plain language summary

Studying small water sources in arid regions such as Baja California Sur, Mexico, presents significant challenges due to limited on-the-ground data and insufficient depth coverage from conventional methods. Many areas lack deep-drilling data, and traditional techniques do not penetrate deeply enough. The Frequency Method (FSM) shows promise in determining the shape of these water sources, but the results require careful analysis. Our study of the Carrizal aquifer demonstrates that FSM is effective for examining the aquifer's base, even though it cannot precisely measure depth. For optimal results, it is recommended to combine FSM with other techniques.
