Soil resistivity, Wenner method, soil types, industry, agriculture, geophysical characteristics

Earth soil is abundantly available throughout the world. It provides us with minerals, metals, foods, etc. It has electrical properties such as resistivity. Electrical resistivity of soil characterizes its ability to oppose the passage of a current. Using resistivity, we can deduce geophysical characteristics of any soil sample. These characteristics include soil composition, temperature and moisture content. Hence, soil resistivity is a crucial property in industry and agriculture. It affects grounding systems and determines the best location for transmitters and substations. Understanding soil resistivity also helps in planning crops and correcting poor soil conditions. So it's important that we develop an efficient way of measuring soil resistivity. Yet, most of the conventional tests used to test for it are costly, time consuming and labor intensive. The Wenner method is the most reliable method for measuring soil resistivity as it provides an optimal value for deeper depths. This method is cost effective and non-destructive to the sample. In this paper the study of different soil samples using a self designed kit (based on the Wenner 4 pin method) in open field grounds of Maitreyi College, Delhi University premises is presented. The geophysical properties of the soil samples were deduced by conducting by analyzing the uniformity of soil and the results are presented in the form of tables and graphs. The variation in the soil types are found at different locations and best use of respective lands are proposed in this paper.
