Abstract

Surface nuclear magnetic resonance (surface NMR) is a non-invasive method for the direct estimation of groundwater and aquifer properties. It measures nuclear magnetic signals generated by the surface wire loop, excited by radiofrequency pulses, and these signals are recorded using GMR QC software. After that, the pulses of the recorded surface NMR data (raw data) were analyzed, and the noise signals were filtered out to improve the quality of the surface NMR data. The pulse signals are merged into a single surface NMR signal to improve the data quality. The QT (pulse moment time) inversion model was used to estimate the hydraulic conductivity and water content below the groundwater table. The aquifer materials were classified based on the transverse relaxation time (\({T}_{2}^{*}\)), and results were compared with sieve analysis of soil samples. The transverse relaxation time (90–429 ms) indicated the presence of sand material, which complements laboratory results. The relative hydraulic conductivity of different types of soil was estimated by Kozeney's method.
