INTRODUCTION
An electrical earth resistivity survey was conducted as part of a groundwater resource
investigation in the Wabash River bottoms ofeastern Crawford County south ofPalestine (parts of
Sections 16, 17, 20-22, and 28, T. 6N, R. 10 W., figure 1). This site is apotential location for a 1,000
gallonperminute(gpm)well fieldtosupplywatertotheHardinville WaterCompany. Becausethearea
has limited geological data from well logs or other sources, the resistivity survey was used to help
determine the most favorable locations to drill the proposed high capacity well.
