Twelve (12) Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was conducted within the study area, using the Schlumberger Array Configuration. Data acquired were processed and interpreted using IPI2WIN software. Three geoelectric layers were obtained showing a sequence of top soil, weathered soil, fractured granite and massive granite. The K-curve type predominates with a water table depth of 40meters. Contour maps of Iso-resistivity and Aquifer depth were constructed. Variations of these data show a possibility of groundwater occurrence at potential points. Two sites were recommended for drilling. Drilling with Down-The-Hole Hammer (DTH) was carried out at the recommended sites down to 120 to 150m depths. The recommended VES results matched well with the test soundings carried at the drilled bore well resistiviites. The yields of bore wells vary from 2000 to 6000 liters per hour (lph). The yield is expected to be low in areas with no incidence of fractures. The use of Electrical Resistivity method has proved useful in evaluating the groundwater potentials within and around the study area.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Electrical resistivity; Isoresistivity; Hard rock region; Weathered/fractured Granite; Groundwater</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://ijesm.co.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=5023&title=Identification of Groundwater Potential Zones in Granitic Terrrain of Rangareddy District, Telangana State: A Case Study from Pendyala Village</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
