Recognition of Paleo Pennar Delta: Assessment of Aquifer Parameters and Environmental Constraints

Abstract

A fan-shaped paleodelta existed during Quaternary period with buildup of paleochannels along major lil1eament~. This paleodelta region is characterised by thick fluviatile granular sediments, low electrical conductivity and chloride levels. Ground water flow paths, subsurface aquifer geometry and transmissivity trends for paleo Pennar delta region are presented and discussed.
