What is Combined electrical and electromagnetic imaging of hot fluids within fractured rock in rugged Himalayan terrain about?

Integrated electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and short-offset transient electromagnetic (TEM) measurements were carried out to investigate a geothermal area in the Main Central Thrust (MCT) zone of Garhwal Himalayan region, India. The study area is located around Helang on either side of Alaknanda River and it is dotted with hot water springs with water temperature of 45°-55 °C emerging at the surface. To assess the geothermal potential and its lateral and vertical extension in and around the hot water springs in the study area, 7 ERT profiles and 21 TEM stations on 7 profiles were established around the hot water spring and at far distant locations. The 2D inversion of ERT data indicates a low resistivity (b 50 Ωm) zone in the vicinity of hot springs, which appears to be associated with an underground water channel through the fractured rock. The bedrock resistivity is very high (N 1000 Ωm) whereas the resistivity of the weathered near surface soil at a far distant location from the hot spring is low (b100 Ωm) again. A common feature of all TEM data is the sign reversal observed at roughly 10 μs. The consistent sign reversal in all TEM data indicates the existence of the mult
