Abstract

New field technology for studying anisotropy of hydraulic properties in fractured rocks on azimuthal self potential (SP) measurements, developed by D.N. Wishart and L. Slater, is considered and used to study water filtration in loose grain  sediments of river floodplain. Azimuthal SP diagrams allow finding direction of groundwater filtration and can add to traditional azimuthal resistivity survey.
