Assessment of Managed Aquifer Recharge Sites Using a New Geophysical Imaging Method

We introduce a new geophysical imaging method to assess managed aquifer recharge sites. This method provides high‐resolution 3D imaging of the subsurface down to a minimum depth of 50 m. We introduce Resistivity Distribution Plot as a new approach to assign a saturated–unsaturated boundary.
