✦ Synopsis
The shallow seismic refraction method--for more than 20 years well known as an useful tool for planning of dam sites, tunnels, roads and other construction works--has, during the last ten years also proved to be an excellent method to locate waterbearing fissured zones in bedrock, hidden by overburden. Furthermore, the method can be successfully applied to establish occurrence of different layers within the overburden.
The authors have chosen the seismic investigations at Mo i Rana, Norway, to illustrate how a reliable picture of the subsurface conditions in an area with sand and clay deposits can be obtained with help of the fast seismic method. Also shown is the possibility to determine the ground water level and the directions of the water flow.
