THE QANATS EXPLOITATION AND GROUND PENETRATION RADAR

Exploitation of qanat water is one of the most important problems in Iran and other countriesover the world; therefore this study aimed to deep the understanding of the usability of ground penetrating radar in the groundwater and qanat studies. Ground penetrating radar is a geophysical technique that has been extensively used to map the relatively shallow subsurface features at scales from kilometers to centimeters. It is useful to determine the behavior of groundwater table; to estimate of water content, properties of aquifers and qanats; to detect the hidden canals and qanats, etc.
