Abstract:
The study area is one of the regions of Chad where the problem of access to water is still relevant. The present study, using electrical and remote sensing methods, aims to contribute to the identification of sites favorable to the implementation of hydraulic drilling by highlighting potentially aquiferous fractures. Indeed, the analysis of satellite images and geophysics have shown the potential of fractures in the search for water. The 2D imagery of the tomography allowed to reinforce the knowledge on the geological and structural structure of the basement in the region of the basement.
