Abstract
Shallow seismic reflection surveys have a range of application in groundwater investigations particularly where a precise solution to a subsurface problem is required. Recent surveys have mapped depth to bedrock, depth to water table, structure within alluvial deposits and the positions of old mineworkings. Example surveys from Down Ampney illustrate the application of shallow reflection surveys in the precise location of structural faults.Keywords
