Emprego de métodos geofísicos na caracterização geoambiental do aterro controlado de Piracicaba/SP

This paper reports the results of a geophysical research in the waste disposal area located at Piracicaba– SP. The main objectives were: to characterize the structure the structure of the waste disposal, to determine the depth of the water table and the direction of the groundwater flow.<br>The regional geology is characterized by the Corumbatai Formation which consist of sandy and argilous sediments of the Parana Sedimentary Basin<br>Vertical electrical sounding (VES) and electrical profiling were used in an integrated way by the measure of resistivity and induced polarization data. As a final product were obtained a potentiometric map of the area and a uni-bidimensional geoelectric models of the waste disposal.
