Abstract

This article describes resistivity imaging and natural potential (NP) data collected over six caves between the years of 2000 and 2014, which are air filled and are located in the northern part of Bexar County, San Antonio, and in the south and north of Travis County, Austin, Texas. All caves were encountered through drilling and/ or excavation for construction and utility lines or power pole reconstructions. The study area falls into the part of the Recharge Zone of the Edwards Aquifer region and it represents a well-developed karstified and faulted limestone (Stein and Ozuna, 1996).
