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.
