Abstract
According to the results obtained from this study it is clear that the groundwater in the area under consideration is occurred in the fractured limestone layers that belong to Eocene Age. Resistivity values of the water bearing layers increase with depth as a result of decreasing fracture density; and these values decreased towards the northwestern direction due to their proximity from the fault zone. The groundwater potential of these layers depends mainly on the lithologic composition and the geological structures affecting these layers. The secondary porosity of these limestone layers depends mainly on the degree of fracturing and fissuring. The proper sites to drill new productive wells were recommended, and the obtained data from drilling new well in the southeastern part of the study area coincide with the interpreted data of the different geophysical techniques.
