The geophysical investigation is a fundamental study to illustrate the physical characteristics of the sub surface within the chosen sites. The study includes sub surface investigation using vertical electrical sounding (VES) by Schlumberger configuration in SRM Institution, Ramapuram, Chennai. The significance of the study is to assess the thickness of the aquifer and sub surface layers to evaluate their hydraulic characteristics. The study area is located at Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. The total extent of the campus is about 16 acres. It is located between North Latitudes 13° 02 ’03.66"N and 13° 01 ’53.89"N and between East Longitudes 80° 10 ’37.22" E and 80° 10 ’53.84" E. The objective of the investigation is to identify the sub surface layers for further study of finding suitable locations of groundwater potential for pumping and recharge.
