Abstract: The crystalline Freiberg gneiss is anisotropic in its hydraulic properties, shear and tensile failure, and wave velocity propagational behaviour. Its anisotropy depends not only on the magnitude of the principal stresses, but also on the foliation orientations relative to the principal stresses. In this study, the hydraulic and mechanical anisotropies are investigated in the laboratory under hydrostatic and triaxial stress conditions in order to aid the interpretation of the field hydraulic stimulation for in-situ stress measurements conducted in boreholes drilled in the underground research mine in Freiberg mine, Germany. The pore-pressure oscillatory hydraulic tests and velocity measurements were investigated under hydrostatic stress conditions representative of stresses......

Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of groundwater resources in the Son Basin, with a focused assessment of the Anuppur District in Madhya Pradesh, India. Groundwater serves as a critical lifeline for agriculture, domestic use, and emerging industrial activities. Despite all administrative blocks being classified as "Safe" with low groundwater extraction levels (ranging from 18.85% in Anuppur to 33.00% in Jaithari), the increasing reliance on groundwater, particularly for irrigation, signals potential future stress. The geology of area is characterized by hard rock formations such as sandstone and granite gneiss with coal seams that limits groundwater storage......

Abstract: Geological map of Rajpura Dariba area has been produced and discussed by earlier workers but this paper produces a revised geological model of Rajpura Dariba-Banera belt based on litho-structural data acquisition and interpretation by the authors. Four phases of deformation are evident in the area and their signatures in the form of small-scale structures are conspicuous. The lead-zinc bearing Proterozoic rocks of Rajpura Dariba, Rajasthan, show classic development of small-scale structures resulting from superposed folding and ductile shearing. The most penetrative deformation structure noted in the rocks......
