Surface and Airborne Geophysics

Chapter
First Online:
Part of the Springer Hydrogeology book series (SPRINGERHYDRO)

Abstract

Surface and airborne geophysical methods can be a valuable element of aquifer characterization programs because they typically are less expensive and can be performed quicker than methods that require the drilling of boreholes, which allow a larger number of measurements and thus greater spatial coverage.
