In areas where tectonics and weathering have hydrogeological significance, electrical methods can assist in mapping the subsurface. In this work, resistivity imaging was used to map fractures, faults and quartz veins emplaced in strongly weathered volcanic rocks. The aim was to map geological units related to the formation of groundwater systems in the Rio Artiguas basin, Nicaragua. Eight 2D resis
