General Hydrogeology

Catalog description

The overall objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the basic principles of hydrologic cycles and groundwater flow. The course will emphasize flow in confined and unconfined aquifer, pump test design and analysis, the transport of contaminants and the use of computer models to simulate saturated groundwater flow. We will also perform simple experiments to better understand the concepts of groundwater flows and pump tests. Case studies for groundwater contamination and remediation will be also discussed.
