Like susceptibilities, there is a large range of resistivities, not only between varying rocks and
minerals but also within rocks of the same type. This range of resistivities, as described above, is
primarily a function of fluid content. Thus, a common target for electrical surveys is the
identification of fluid saturated zones. For example, resistivity methods are commonly used in
engineering and environmental studies for the identification of the water table.
