Use of Electrical Resistivity Tomography to Study the Impact of Long-Term Application of Sewage Sludge: Case Study of Oued Souhil Experimental Station, Nabeul (Tunisia) by Hechmi, Sarra

“…Laboratory analyses were conducted on soil samples taken in the middle of the treated plots at four depths (0–20 cm), (20–40 cm), and (40–60 cm) for a comparison with the ERT survey result. ERT panels showed a general decrease in soil resistivity below (40 cm) with extremely low resistivity in each plot’s corner, indicating a vertical leaching and a lateral migration of conductive materials in all the treatments. …”
