This work of geophysics applied to hydrogeology was carried out in the southeast of Pará in the Palestina district at the margin of Araguaia river. Ironically there exists problems of water supply for the city population. This is due to the fact that it is not economical to mantein a treatment station and to transport the water from the river to the city. Since is this case pumping groundwater wells are more economical than take water from the river, the Geophysics Department (UFPa) was asked to cooperate with the Health National Fundation (NSF) to carry out a electroresistivity survey to help the groundwater investigation of the area. There were made 21 vertical electrical soundings (SEV) with the Schlumberger array with 500 m and 50 m maximum AB and MN respectively. For the interpretation it was used the programs EGSLIB/SEV1D for forward modeling and EGSLIB/SEV1D1N for the inversion of homogeneous isotropic layered models. Based on the results of the interpretation of the 21 electrical soundings and the local geology, three contour maps and six geoelectrical sections were made. From the six horizons that are shown in these sections, the fourth one with thickness of 10 to 79 m at the depth of 50 m and resistivity of 150 — 850 ohm-m is the most suitable for groundwater exploration. The final analysis of the maps and geoelectrical sections show that the best place to locate the wells is near the area used today for capturing water.
