In June 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)collected borehole geophysical logs to characterize the shallow alluvial aquifer in and near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Borehole geophysical logs were collected in nine shallow boreholes to identify geophysical properties of the aquifer in the area surrounding the boreholes. Electromagnetic induction logs were used to determine the electrical properties of the fluid and formation surrounding the borehole. A natural gamma tool was used to identify the naturally occurring gamma radiation that is emitted from the earth materials. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tools were used to measure the water content and estimate the pore-size distribution and hydraulic conductivity (K) for each measurement interval in the saturated zone. Estimates of K were determined using two commonly used empirical relations. These estimates of K are order-of- estimates of K and can be used as relative estimates of K. Collectively, these borehole geophysical logs can be related to the stratigraphic layers of sand, gravel and fine sand in the aquifer.
