Presence of a hydrogeological barrrel boundary was identified from the interpretatron of time-drawdown data obtained by conducting pumping test in an area underlain by hard rocks Interpretation of electrical resistivity data also confirmed that a geological boundary exists in the zone identified as barrier boundary, indicating a role for resistivity surveys in the characterization of hard rock aquifers.
