Instruction 2. Write true if the statement is correct otherwise false with justification (3%)

_________1. Surface method ground water exploration is accurate and simple used for direct
observation of ground water formations.

_________2. In seism tic method of ground water exploration, “P” waves travel faster than “S”
waves. Hence the velocities of “S” waves reach the ground slower than “P” waves

_________3. In some places where minor and major structures like joints, faults
and liniments are found are good and potential zones for
groundwater exploration.
