Content:

The basic concepts of general hydrogeology, from both the geologic and engineering hydrologic perspectives, will be presented with respect to the study of the occurrence and movement of groundwater.  

Outline:

  • Water cycle and groundwater,
  • Classification of the geohydraulic subsurface: Aquifer and non-conductor.
  • geological basics, classification of rocks
  • quantification of the porous medium: porosity and hydraulic conductivity

  • Groundwater flows
    • Darcy's law
    • Groundwater flow equation
    • Well flow and pumping tests

  • Geochemistry of water
  • Basics of (pollutant) transport
  • Remediation of contaminated sites


  • Previous knowledge: Hydromechanics, Engineering Hydrology I

    A reprint of the lecture is available.

    The lecture is recognized with 3 credits after completion of a homework.
