  • Subsurface hydrogeologic system modeling
    Patent number: 8688423
    Abstract: A method of modeling a subsurface hydrogeologic system within a study area can include applying an electric current directly to the subsurface hydrogeologic system and monitoring a magnetic field generated by the electric current in the subsurface hydrogeologic system. An electric current distribution can be identified within the study area by an inversion process based on the magnetic field. A model of the electric current distribution can be created.
    Type: Grant

  • SUBSURFACE WATER CHANNEL DETECTION
    Publication number: 20120139542
    Abstract: A system for detecting a location of a subsurface water channel includes an anchor electrode for disposal in a first body of water and a mobile electrode for disposal in a second body of water. An electric current source can be coupled to at least one of the mobile electrode and the anchor electrode to generate an electric current between the mobile electrode to the anchor electrode. A lead line can be coupled to the mobile electrode to enable the mobile electrode to move a distance in the second body of water. An ammeter can be coupled to the anchor electrode to measure the electric current from the mobile electrode. A processor can compare the current with the length of the lead line to determine the location of the subsurface water channel.
