Water Infiltration Study from Magnetotelluric Data in the Limestone Fault Network of Mintom (South Cameroon)

Magnetotelluric surveyshave been conducted in the Mintom area in order to evaluate the waterinfiltration potential of the Dja river in a limestone deposit estimated atabout 350 million?m3 layingon a network of faults compromising the exploitation of this limestone deposit.The interpretation of these data shows that this network of faults is clearlyhighlighted as 2D/3D structures consolidated showing a low potential waterinfiltration through these structures. This result is confirmed by the absenceof confined and induced aquifer along all the profiles. From this finding, weconcluded that the exploitation of this deposit is not conditioned by the waterinfiltration from the Dja River.
