In particular, we define hydrofacies as geological or hydrological structures presenting similar resistivity dynamics, and which could be extracted using Time Series Clustering (TSC) on a time-lapse ERT dataset. The latter is obtained from a 48 electrodes profile installed on the top of the Rochefort cave in Southern Belgium. Data consists of resistivity time-series defined over 465 days and associated with the 1558 cells of the 2D ERT model derived from a time-lapse inversion. While using various representations of the inverted time-series (raw, standardized, differenced data, or principal components), three clustering algorithms are considered: k-means, hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC), and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). The clustering results are evaluated using clustering validation indices and confronted with the expert-based structural model of the site. The k-means, HAC, and GMM clusters reveal the spatial pattern of correlated resistivity time-series on standardized data similarly. Some clusters are spatially split and include time-series with a wide range of mean resistivity, suggesting different geological units within these hydrofacies groups. In general, applying TSC to various time-series representation leads to different spatial patterns, but allows gaining confidence from shared redundancies. We also tested the appropriate duration of the measurements: the TSC patterns obtained from the full dataset cannot be reproduced from continuous sub-samples up to 100 days, but well from less than 20 samples picked randomly over the 465 days. This finding suggests monitoring the subsurface system long enough and in a wide range of environmental conditions. Accordingly, this study highlights the importance of time-variable parameters in the identification of structural facies and hydrofacies with ERT while demonstrating the strength of long-term monitoring. It also encourages the retrieval of hydrofacies by combining multiple TSC approaches or, multivariate geophysical dataset, to expect a faster convergence to stable hydrofacies patterns.
