Málaga town presents a serious problem caused by the insufficient environmental offer of the superficial water resource to supply the dotation corresponding to the needs of the urban area. Although the geographic and geological location generates optimal conditions for the occurrence of groundwater, studies on the existence, location and availability are incomplete and fragmented, and in general, there is no information about the hidryc resource. The main objective of the present paper pretends to build through the applied geophysical prospection Vertical Electric Sounding (VES) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) the 2D model of electrical resistivity of the subsurface, from the processing of synthetic data to the treatment of geoelectrical information with hydrogeological purposes. The data acquisition and processing allowed the interpretation, from the geoelectric point of view and the basic analysis of the 1D profiles and the 2D models developed; demonstrating the presence of highly fractured aquifers that can provide the municipal supply in the future; results that establish the first step in the evaluation of Málaga’s water resources.
