Abstract

We present in this paper the report of an experiment to simulate the effect of the presence of saline solution on subsoil. The method used was Electro Resistivity, with employment of the Laying of Cables technique. The obtained results show that apparent resistivity is strongly influenced by the presence of toxic material, such as manure.
