heal.abstract	Geophysical, seismic and geoelectric, investigations were carried out in the Messara district, Crete, in order to determine the bedrock structure for the construction of a dam. The geophysical measurements resulted in the following experiences of probable universal validity for similar problems: seismic refraction measurements discover excellently the thickness and nature of the uppermost weathered zone. Electric measurements, however, throw light on the presence or absence of faults, breaks, with a high degree of certainty. The electrical measurements have also been proved more convenient for the acquirement of lithological composition data of the compact-bedrock, because they can distinguish between clay and sandstone formations.	en
