target audience:

students of the programs Civil Engineering M.Sc., Water Science and Engineering M.Sc., interested persons in topic Groundwater

learning target:

The participants can describe the hydrogeologic situations in groundwater systems. They are able to calculate groundwater level and fluxes for simple flow processes depending on the boundary conditions using analytical methods. They can also describe the transport processes of solutes and calculate concentrations and mass fluxes respectively. They are able to apply these balance approaches in management scenarios for quantity and quality of groundwater resources.

addressed topics:

• fluid mechanical processes in porous media
• groundwater flow: regional, potential flow, flow towards a well
• processes of groundwater recharge
• solute transport processes
• groundwater management: well catchments, protection zones, groundwater pollution, salt water intrusion
