Abstract:Practices of looking for water and wells drillings in Yuxi city of Yunan province has been introduced in this paper. On the basis of geological and hydrogeological investigation, by using resistivity sounding method in the key areas, through analysis on electrical characteristics of the aquifer, the measured resistivity sounding curve has been interpreted and compared, the wells drilling spots have been determined as well. Through the construction drillings, it is verified that geophysical inference results are consistent with the actual condition, average single well water yield is far beyond the required water volume in local region. It has obtained a good hydrogeological effect, and praised by local government and the masses. It will also provide some references for looking for water in the bedrocks in the highlands and in the "red beds".
