IX1D v3.50 has been a critical tool for identifying and characterizing groundwater resources. Its ability to differentiate subsurface layers based on resistivity makes it invaluable for locating aquifers. In the alluvial aquifers of Pakistan, researchers used the software to convert raw field data into resistivity-versus-depth models, which were then used to map freshwater lenses and identify optimal zones for tubewell installation.
Version 3.50 benefits from a redesigned, modern Windows development environment that greatly enhances data visualization, interactive control, and reporting: 1D Resistivity, IP, EM Software - Interpex interpex ix1d v350
Generates a model with many thin layers (often 20 to 150) where resistivity varies smoothly with depth. This is ideal when looking for continuous transitions or water tables.

The software allows a geophysicist to overlay a Magnetic survey on top of a Resistivity sounding. This "Grand Slam" approach allows the user to correlate different physical properties to solve a single puzzle. For example, “This area has high resistivity (hard rock) AND a magnetic anomaly (iron content), so we must be looking at a basalt dyke.”
The software takes that squiggly line and asks, "What combination of underground rock layers would produce this specific result?"
Here is an interesting deep-dive into the software that has been the "workhorse" of the geophysical industry for decades.
Fully supports standard configurations including Wenner, Schlumberger, dipole-dipole, pole-dipole, and pole-pole arrays.
