I am currently doing ERT for groundwater exploration in mountainous areas of my community. I have read books that recommend acquiring ERT profiles with slopes not greater than 30 degrees. The slope of my ERT have 10-25 degrees, which is less than the limit, but enough to apply topographic corrections.

My questions are:

1) How does the topography affect the "travel" of the current and voltage isoline?

2) Is there a formula for the correction of resistivity data with topography?

Thank you for your answers.
