Abstract

The present is study focus field investigation, beach profile measurement, tidal water level and ground water level through water level pressure sensor and piezometers Well water level fluctuation supplemented by experimental design. Apart from these studies the passive characteristic features such as size, shape, roundness, porosity and permeability of beach sediment with different characteristic are accountable for this study. The hydraulic condition of the study area mainly composed on the elevation and beach groundwater table. The groundwater levels of all tube wells or piezometric wells at vellappatti beach are controlled by wave and tidal impact due to the subsurface condition of the soil deposition and evolution of Van Island. The above experimental data plotted time vs piezometric level is increase slowly, constant, fast, irregularly patterns used for the factors. The supporting of dumpy level data and 2D Electrical Resistivity imaging technique is used for the comparative study.
