The company has business interest in Borewell drilling, Geophysical Exploration, Engineered Water Solutions and Mines & Minerals. Electrical resistivity survey (CRM AUT0-C) I wanted to intern with a very flexible company dealing with ground water exploration in Goa and neighbouring states. Also, to grab the opportunity of gaining experience of class study and practical knowledge/ physically working and studying an area suitable for drilling.  We first had an introductory session.

In these internships we covered Theory, field visit, mine visit, geophysical exploration of ground water, electrical resisti...
