The resistivity survey method is one of the most widely used and important methods in geophysical exploration. In recent years, major advances have been made in instrumentation, field survey design, and data inversion techniques for the geoelectric method. Multidimensional geoelectric surveys are now widely used in environmental, engineering, hydrological and mineral applications. However, the resistivity method in imaging and direct current geoelectric measurements has limitations, the most important of which are non-coupling and resolution, data quality, electrode position, measurement and data collection design, smoothing, anisotropy. In this article, while referring to the principles of the resistivity method, we analyze these limitations.
