3. Review of selected geophysical methods used in the assessment of water resources for agriculture – D. Badora, R. Wawer Abstract. In
the recent decade Poland was repeatedly affected with severe droughts
that caused significant losses in the agricultural sector. To minimize
the effects of hydrological drought and rationalize the management of
water for agricultural purposes, a continuous monitoring of ground
water should be implemented country-wide. Such a monitoring network
already exists in Poland – State Groundwater Monitoring, based upon
direct measurements, however its density and temporal resolution is too
coarse to effectively inform about the levels of groundwater and its
availability for agriculture. The existing monitoring network can be
supplemented with various remote geophysical methods, allowing
wide-area estimations on groundwater availability. This publication
aims at screening available geophysical methods and their suitability
for assessing groundwater levels and stocks. keywords: drought, water table, groundwater levels monitoring, geophysical method |
