The primary objective was to evaluate and map the potential of groundwater reservoirs as sources of water for household and agricultural purposes during the dry season. It was accomplished through the implementation of the Schlumberger array configuration. An electrical resistivity survey instrument was used to generate a 2D resistivity model of the electrical resistance profiles, or pseudo section profiles. The survey instrument included more than 50 electrodes, enabling the investigation of the profile to a depth of up to 50 m from the ground surface. The resistivity values obtained from the field data were recorded and converted or interpreted using RES2DINV software. The data were analysed by comparing them with the geological information about the site and referencing the geological borehole data as at 50 m depth from the surface. The results of the ERT survey indicated that groundwater in the arid areas of the Buriram Province can be found at shallow depths around 10–20 m from the surface and it is deposited in sedimentary and clay layers, and it has remained relatively stable over a 2-year period with the water level measured by an electric probe in the summer, winter and rainy seasons in Thailand.}, type={Article}, title={Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) exploration data in drought prone areas case study: Buriram Province, Thailand}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/131550/2024-02-JWLD-10.pdf}, doi={10.24425/jwld.2024.150262}, keywords={drought-prone, electrical resistivity survey, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), groundwater, reserve water}, }
