    Hydrogeology Dr. Mohammad H. Makkawi: Water Table Depth in KFUPM Beach Sand Dune

    Uploaded by

    Mohammad Aqel
    This document summarizes the results of a seismic refraction survey conducted to determine the depth of the water table in sand dunes at the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals beach. The survey involved collecting seismic data along a line over the dunes using a seismic source and geophones. The first arrivals were picked from the seismic recordings and plotted on a time-distance graph. This allowed the subsurface velocity to be calculated, which was then used to determine the depth of the water table at approximately 3 meters below the surface based on a velocity contrast between the saturated and unsaturated sand.
