    The document summarizes the results of an electrical resistivity test conducted at 3 points in New Town, Kolkata to determine soil properties at a water treatment plant site. Electrical resistivity tests using the Wenner method were performed, and the resistivity was calculated based on voltage, current, and electrode spacing. Test results found mean resistivity values of 11.353 ohm-m at the water treatment plant area, 12.552 ohm-m at the MCC area, and 5.970 ohm-m at the substation area, indicating sandy clay soils predominant in the subsurface.

    REPORT ON ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TEST AT NEW TOWN WATER
    TREATMENT PLANT, NEW TOWN, KOLKATA

    INTRODUCTION :-

    Electrical resistivity test was carried at 03 (three) points / locations at New Town water treatment

    plant at New Town, Kolkata on 12th April, 2019.

    METHODOLOGY: -
    This test is conducted as per IS 3043:1987 .During these test Wenner method electrodes
    configuration was employed. In this method, four electrodes are driven at equal intervals into
    the ground along a straight line at N – S and E – W directions at ERT 01 and ERT 02. At ERT
    03 NE – SW was employed and electrode separation S (spacing between two electrodes) are =
    05.0m., 1.20m. and 2.50m. A Current (I) is passed through the two outer electrodes (C1 and
    C2) and the Voltage difference (V) between the two inner electrodes (P1 and P2). The current
    flowing into the ground, produce an electric field, proportional to it’s density and to the
    resistivity of the soil strata below. The voltage is measured between the inner two electrode and
    therefore, proportional to the field. Consequently, the resistivity will be proportional to the ratio of
    the voltage to current.
    Soil Resistivity is given by p = 2. π. S. R; whereas p = Apparent Resistivity in Ohm.m., π =
    3.1415927, S = distance between two successive electrodes in Meters and R =
    observed Resistance in Ohms.
    The depth is considered as the distance between two electrode.

    INSTRUMENT USED: -
    In this test, Resistivity Meter model DDR 2 was used, which is manufactured by Geo
    Sensors, Hyderabad. It’s calibration no is GS/18/10-11 calibrated on 17th November, 2018. The
    instrument were fabricated jointly by Geo Sensors and National Geophysical Institute,
    Hyderabad through a process of National Research Development Council, developed by
    NGRI (council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Govt. of India).
    GEOLOGY: -

    Sand, sandy clay are predominant in the sub-surface in this areas. Summarized
    result of 03 (three) points of Apparent Resistivity in Ohm.m. are given in the table.
