Abstract: Near-surface geophysics investigations encompass a diverse range of application areas that are supported by both basic and applied research. These application areas are characterized by various descriptors, such as engineering, geotechnical, environmental, groundwater, mining, archaeological, and forensic. The aim of our project is to examine the applicability of small scale arrays to measure the changes in soil due to the movements of surface water. The idea was based in simulating the field conditions inside a lab using regular instruments to measure the volte and currents and calculate the apparent resistivity. These measurements could provide a future cheap tool that can be used in various near-surface geophysical applications.
