Procedure and equipment to detect and evaluate the infiltration of livestock manure into the subsoil on which the slurry storage ponds sit. Procedure to detect and evaluate the infiltration produced in slurry ponds, and associated equipment, where the procedure includes: the determination of the resistivity values through the use of electrical resistivity tomography, with the provision of some terrestrial profiles with a plurality of stainless steel electrodes; and some internal profiles that unfold inside the raft and consisting of a marine cable with a plurality of graphite electrodes; and where the electrodes are in connection with a resistometer and allow the direct measurement of the characteristics of the subsoil under the slurry pond; the execution of the LeFranc permeability test with a minimum depth of 4 meters taken from the level of the base of the pond; and the physical-chemical analysis of some samples taken every meter from some mechanical soundings with core extraction.

Applications

The infiltration into the subsoil, produced in slurry storage ponds, is determined and the degree of impact produced on soils and/or groundwater is established, through the implementation of marine profiles made with the electrical tomography technique, directly on the organic by-product, without the need to use supports, external connections, and the eventuality involved in implementing said profile, with the consequent reduction in application time and cost reduction by having more effective data for subsequent analysis.
