Credit points: 6.00
Contact: 18 hours of lectures and 8 hours of tutorials/practical work
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
At the completion of this subject, students should have a good understanding of groundwater and groundwater flow, well-hydraulics and pumping test analysis, and the numerical modelling of groundwater flow. The course covers sufficient theory to allow students to pursue further study in specific groundwater hydrology topics.
Content:
Groundwater storage and groundwater flow, saturated conductivity and storage coefficient, groundwater in the hydrological cycle, groundwater and seepage, well hydraulics and pumping test analysis, introduction to numerical groundwater modelling (finite difference method, solution techniques, boundary conditions, model calibration and verification).
Assessment:
A two-hour examination; reports and assignments up to a total of 30 pages.
