Abstract

The application of remote sensing techniques to both determine the extent of surface water and to trace geologic structures, lithologies and geomorphic features which may be sources for groundwater is reviewed and examples given of the application of the technique to hydrogeologic studies. It is recommended that remote sensing techniques be applied first followed by geophysical surveys. Airborne and ground geophysical survey methods can be highly effective in locating exploitable occurrences of groundwater. For such surveys to give useful data the correct method must be selected. Various geophysical methods are described and examples given which show their proper application. Cet article étudie la mise en oeuvre des techniques de télédétection pour déterminer l'étendue des eaux de surface et repérer les structures géologiques, la nature des roches et les eléments géomorphologiques qui peuvent receler des eaux souterraines. II fournit des exemples de mise en oeuvre de ces techniques á des fins d'études hydrogéologiques. II recommande que les techniques de télédétection soient utilisées en premier et soient suivies par des campagnes géophysiques. La géophysique terrestre et aéroportée peut ětre très efficace pour localiser des ressources aquifères souterraines exploitables. Pour obtenir des données utilisables, il convient de choisir la méthode appropriée. Enfin, I'article passe en revue différentes méthodes géophysiques et donne des exemples réussis de leurs applications. La aplicación de sensores remotos para determinar la extensión de aguas superficiales y definir las estructuras geológicas, la litología y características geomorfológicas que puedan dar origen a aguas subterráneas se analizan en este artículo y se dan ejemplos de la aplicación de esta técnica a estudios hidrológicos. Se recomienda que técnicas de sensores remotos precedan los estudios geofísicos. Estos estudios pueden ser muy efectivos en la ubicación de ocurrencias explotables de recursos de agua subterránea. En este artículo se describen y dan ejemplos de varios métodos geofísicos y de aplicación.
