The South Jingyang tableland, located in Shaanxi Province, China, is composed of loess deposits. Agricultural irrigation in this area has caused the continuous rise of the groundwater table, which triggered a series of loess landslides. Although extensive research has been conducted on the effect of rising groundwater tables on induced loess landslides, less is known about the groundwater table distribution. This study jointly investigated the distribution of the groundwater table in the South Jingyang tableland using boreholes, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and laboratory tests. A qualitative analysis between the apparent resistivity and the water content was estimated at different depths, using the borehole data and ERT inversion data. A quantitative relationship between the resistivity and the water content was established in the laboratory tests. A combination of the qualitative analysis of the inversion results and the quantitative relationship was used to determine the distribution of the groundwater table. The groundwater table is present at the depth where the water content of the loess is 30% (liquid limit of loess) and the resistivity is 28.35 Q m. The groundwater table elevation in the southern study area is higher than that of the northern study area and decreases in a stepwise gradient from south to north. This study not only identified the distribution of the groundwater table in the South Jingyang tableland, but also makes up for the limitation and inaccuracy in determining groundwater tables by relying solely on the borehole information or inversion results of ERT. The ascertained distribution characteristics of the groundwater table provides a basis for the analysis of the formation mechanism of landslides.
