Abstract

The paper shows that geophysical resistivity values Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for different depths, can indicate the location of depth persistence lineaments. The depth persistence lineaments allow large scale migration of groundwater and can be used as sites for the artificial recharging of aquifers. It is concluded that the lineament maps prepared from geophysical resistivity values can give a better picture of the depth persistence.
