Ground-water exploration in the South Kohala district, Hawaii County, Hawaii, using vertical electrical sounding

Ten deep electrical resistivity soundings were completed across the island of Hawai?i near the town of Waimea in an effort to locate high-level, dike-impounded water. The resistivity data did not support the existence of a high-level water occurrence. Instead, the data show that a thick basal fresh-water lens underlies the area.
