Resumo:
This work was perfomed in an area of 25 km2 in Ponta de Pedras, Marajó Island. The purpose of this work was to study the geometry of the aquifers and to select favorable zones for development of ground water. Two geophysical methods were used: seismic refraction and electroresistivity. The first one was used experimentally intending to find out the possibility of its application in the area. The seismic results obtained confirm the original expectance of the existence of shallow geologic horizon at the subsurface, not able to be distinguished by the seismic method. Vertical electrical soundings and horizontal perfil resistivity were done with the electrical resistivity method. The results of the interpretation point out favorable areas in the central part of the study area and in a zone extending to the north of the prospected area. The thickness of the shallow aquifer varies between 0 and 50 m.
