Abstract
A resurgence in the exploration of ground-water
resources is evident as the population in northern Georgia
continues to grow at a rapid pace and the demand for water
supplies steadily increases. The need to apply accurate investigative
methods to fractured-rock aquifer characterization is
essential to any ground-water development program. The
U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Lawrenceville,
Ga., initiated a study in December 1994 to apply
various investigative techniques to field characterization of a
crysalline-rock aquifer near Lawrenceville. Interpretations of
fracture strike were made from directional borehole radar
surveys, acoustic televiewer logs, and surface square-array
azimuthal resistivity surveys. Subsurface geophysical interpretations
of fracture strike correlate with surface structural geologic
data.
