  abstract = {{I}n this paper we present the results of a geophysical study of water distribution in the peat bog at {L}uitel {L}ake. {T}he goal of the study was to determine water distribution within the bog, which is part of a protected nature preserve. {T}he small peat bog (17 ha) provides a good test site for developing and testing surface geophysical methods. {F}or this study we used magnetic resonance sounding ({MRS}), electrical resistivity tomography ({ERT}) and ground-penetrating radar ({GPR}). {B}ecause the water distribution in the bog is a 2{D} target for {MRS}, we had to develop a measuring procedure and 2{D} inversion routine for {MRS}. {T}he fieldwork consisted in establishing seventeen {MRS} stations and conducting three {ERT} profiles and one {GPR} line. {T}he {MRS}, {ERT} and {GPR} results on the reservoir geometry correlated well with each other. {P}ine and birch trees cover most of the bog surface but they have not yet populated the centre of the bog, the location where the maximum water content was observed. {T}his result agrees well with vegetation distribution in the study area: at the centre of the bog, vegetation is typical of a swampy environment but outside the centre the vegetation is typical of a forest. {A}ccording to {MRS}, the water content of the peat formation at the centre of the bog is 60-70%, whereas {GPR} estimated the water content to be between 64-70%. {O}utside the centre, {MRS} showed the water content of the peat to be about 30%.},
