abstract = {Recently, encouraging results have been obtained to
estimate hydraulic conductivity in unconsolidated sediments
from induced polarisation (IP) measurements. The work
focussed on laboratory experiments in order to establish
semi-empirical relationships between complex electrical
conductivity and hydraulic parameters. Although field
studies are certainly important to evaluate the feasibility
of the method in practice, only a limited number of case
histories have been reported. We carried out an IP survey at
the Krauthausen hydrogeological test site in Germany.
Multifrequency data were recorded along two profiles with a
dipole-dipole configuration and 2 in electrode spacing. The
data were inverted with a 2-D inversion code to obtain
images of conductivity magnitude and phase for each
frequency. We used a novel focussing regularisation scheme
that does not suppress sharp boundaries and yields realistic
images of the subsurface. The gross structural features
compare well with the known lithology, which consists of an
approx. 9 in thick sand/gravel aquifer over fine sands and a
thin clay layer which constitutes the base at approx. I I in
depth. From the complex electrical conductivity distribution
we calculate hydraulic conductivity estimates using the
empirical equations suggested by Bbmer et al. [Borner, F.
D., Schopper J. R., Weller, A., 1996. Evaluation of
transport and storage properties in the soil and groundwater
zone from induced polarisation measurements. Geophys. Prosp.
44, 583-601] and by Slater and Lesmes [Slater, L. D.,
Lesmes, D. P., 2002a. Electric hydraulic relationships
observed for unconsolidated sediments. Water Res. Research,
3 8 (10), doi:10.1029/2001WR001075] and compare the results
with values obtained from grain size data at two boreholes.
The Bbmer model yields hydraulic conductivities in the same
order of magnitude as the grain size data, whereas the
Slater and Lesmes model substantially underestimates
hydraulic conductivities. We also compare the specific inner
surface estimated from our IP data with values obtained from
BET measurements at the two borehole locations. In this
case, we observe a reasonable agreement with both the Borner
and the Slater and Lesmes equations. Our results constitute
an encouraging example where reasonable estimates of
hydraulic parameters are obtained at the field scale. (C)
