RESULT AND INTERPRETATION
SK SG. SIONG, SIBU
LINE 1: POLE DIPOLE LS ARRAY

Clayey sand
sand mixture

Figure 2: Pseudosection profile for Line 1

Figure 3: Pseudosection profile for Line 1 with topography.

This survey line was stretched 400 metres and cut across the football field of SK Sg. Siong. The surface is
mainly covered by clayey sand mixture. Underneath the football field shows high resistivity indicate sand
on the subsurface.

LINE 2: POLE DIPOLE LS ARRAY

Saturated zone

Clayey sand

Figure 4: Pseudosection profile for Line 2.

Figure 5: Pseudosection profile for Line 2 with topography.

This survey line intersects with line 1 and parallel to the nearby river. Penetration depth is up to 140.7
metres. Clayey sand is found at depth 17.9 metres until 140.7 metres. Saturated zone is believed to get its
recharge from the nearby river.

Figure 7: Pseudosection profile for Line 3 with topography.

This survey line intersects line 1, line 5 and line 6. Its penetration depth is up to 87.9 metres. From this
pseudosection, underneath this survey line is mostly clayey sand (dark blue to dark green in colour).

This survey line lies across the football field parallel to Line 1. Subsurface penetration is up to 77.5 metres.
Subsurface features here is mainly covered by clayey sand (light green to dark green in colour).

This survey line is set up parallel to the line 1 and line 5. Subsurface penetration is up to 87.9 metres and
its feature here is mainly covered by clayey sand (light green to dark green in colour). This line proves that
underneath school area have potential for fresh groundwater.

Interpretation:
All of this line provides a visible data in search for fresh groundwater. Resistivity value from 10Ωm to
120Ωm (blue colour to green colour) in pseudosection indicate there is fresh groundwater underneath.

Comment:
Existing tubewell cannot yield enough water since its screen pipe has collapsed. Proposed well is located
40 meters from existing tubewell.
