The student will acquire the knowledge to realize hydrogeological survey, field measurements and data analysis.

.

The course aims to provide the basis for understanding the principles governing the groundwater flow.
General concepts: water-rock interaction, porosity, permeability, Darcy's Law, Transmissibility and underground flow modeling.
Aquatic systems: zoning, primary and secondary permeability complexes, karstic systems, hydrogeological structures, springs.
Geochemistry and groundwater quality.
Methodologies for hydrogeological survey, continuos monitoring stations, surveys, design of wells and interpretation of pumping tests.
