Site examination ought to be sorted out to get all conceivable data toward a careful

comprehension of the subsurface condition and likely establishment conduct. Site

examination is typically pivotal and completed before the initiation of configuration
of a development venture. Site examination has been characterized as examination
of the physical attributes of the site and incorporates narrative studies, site studies
and ground examination. It is additionally alludes to the real surface or subsurface
examination, including nearby and research center tests. In expansive sense,
investigation of the site history and environment, elucidation and examinations of
all accessible information, and making proposals on the great/unfavorable areas,
financial and safe outline, and expectation of potential dangers ought to likewise be
incorporated into site examinations.

Above all else, a work area study to uncover information which might as of now
exist concerning the site, its topography and history, together with a site
surveillance, is precious and should be possible before buy at insignificant expense.
This may be trailed by trial setting, examining or preceding so as to exhaust as
suitable to the conditions uncovered studies and in the light of the advancement
recommendations. It is additionally a precautionary measure to minimize harm that
could be brought on by these dirts could likewise be imparted at this stage. At any
rate home inhabitants would be cautioned to potential issues (and the related
expenses) from the start, in this way empowering them to settle on educated
choices with respect to the most proper establishment framework for their homes.

Site examination is intended to recognize the qualities of soils or fill materials which
lie underneath the site, the groundwater conditions and the presence and degree of
other physical components or contaminants which may be available. This data
impacts the determination and outline of a fitting basic structure for the proposed
assembling. It is a procedure which ought to proceed on an iterative premise all
through the configuration and development stages. Post-development observing
can likewise be of significance in numerous occasions as a feature of an acceptance
process.

The joined building burdens demonstrated in figure 1 must be securely bolstered by

the subsoil furthermore guarantee that absurd developments of the building don't
happen. On the off chance that the supporting soil is adequate safe and its
attributes under burden are liable to stay palatable, the issues of bolster and
development will be effortlessly determined. In any case, few soils other than rock
can oppose these concentrated burdens and it is generally important to gather the
determined burdens at their most minimal guide and exchange them toward
sufficient bearing soil known not accessible on a specific site

Geophysical Methods of Locating Groundwater

Geophysical methods of locating groundwater are technological ways of determining
conditions below the ground surface without actually drilling a hole.
These techniques are most commonly used when exploring for and locating groundwater in
hard crystalline rock areas, but they can also be used to assist in areas of unconsolidated
sediments.
Each of these geophysical techniques measures a specific physical property of the rock or
sediment such as the earths electrical resistance, electrical conductance, density, and
magnetic properties. Changes in these properties can be related to changes in the type of
sediment or rock, potential for aquifers, and in some cases groundwater quality.
However, each of these geophysical methods has limitations. These techniques cannot, by
themselves, determine the presence and location of an aquifer. Data developed by
geophysical methods must be compared with nearby known geology to be accurately
interpreted.
Examples of geophysical methods that can assist in locating groundwater include electrical
resistivity, seismic refraction. Commercial resistivity and seismic instruments are available,
but their cost may range from $10,000 to $20,000 each.
Electrical Resistivity A resistivity survey measures the electrical resistance to a current
induced into the ground.
The electrical resistance of sediment or rock depends on many factors such as particle size,
porosity, density, mineral and chemical composition, and moisture level. Resistivity data can
reveal something about these factors and the geological composition of the area being
measured.
Seismic Refraction A seismic refraction survey measures how fast a shockwave travels
through the ground.
Because the waves travel at different speeds depending upon the density of the material
they pass through, the timing of their arrival at the geophone can be interpreted to reveal
something about the density of materials at different depths.

Considering the expense and complexity of geophysical methods discussed above, and the
relative simplicity afforded by observation, inquiry, and a basic knowledge of hydrogeology,
these simpler methods are often a more practical approach to locating groundwater.
