CMG-3V
An earth strap can be used to ensure a good connection.
If the lower borehole is flled with salt water, the instrument will be
adequately grounded without any further action. Fresh water is an
inferior conductor.
In a dry or sand-flled borehole, or one with a non-conducting casing,
you will need to ensure the sonde is grounded by some other means.
The best option is ofen to aiach the sensor housing to an earth line
brought out to the surface and aiached to a metal stake driven into the
ground nearby.
