Abstract
The vertical electrical sounding (VES) survey was carried out using a Schlumberger array to investigate groundwater in the West of Ramadi City. Fieldwork for 20 VES points was carried out. The results of VES are presented through geo-electrical sections which indicate the presence of an aquifer in the studied area. Display the resistivity variation between the irregular portions of the water table and the host sediment. The vertical extension of the wet zone is between 1.5 m to 9.5 m. Where groundwater level in the three wells located in the University of Anbar, a 7-kilometer area and 18-kilometer area, was identical to its level in the three imaging reversed models. Therefore, the results of this study can be considered good and reliable.
