Exploration of groundwater resources requires recognition of regions and their potential sources. Because of high importance in the karstic regions and their significant role in providing needed water, efforts to explore new sources of Karst is inevitable. Checking discontinuities is always an important issue in karst studies. Because of high discontinuities in rock masses, permeable areas will be created, they cause appropriate groundwater paths to flow methodology: Recognition of these regions is possible through geophysical methods based on physical characteristics of these areas such as density or resistivity. Using geophysical methods in water and geotechnical methods have less history to oil field investigations and mining exploration but have been accelerated in recent years. Results: In this research, we have tried to investigate the usage of various geophysical methods, such as how to detect and identify underground water using these methods.Conclusion: We can note of geophysical applied methods for groundwater potentiometric such as geoelectric methods, ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic, gravimetry, magnetic and seismic surveys.References
