Electrical resistivity is used to find groundwater.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that electrical resistivity is used to find groundwater?

Yes. A reference article on electrical resistivity tomography states directly that resistivity measurements are used to identify and quantify groundwater depth, and a peer-reviewed paper says resistivity has long been used to find subsurface freshwater. Several regional surveys further apply resistivity methods to locate groundwater zones.
