Course Description

This course deals with theoretical and geological backgrounds on groundwater existence and groundwater flow. It covers the hydrogeology of selected geological settings together with groundwater resource engineering and management. Groundwater chemistry and groundwater pollution (i.e. causes, migration and mitigation measures) are also assessed.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Display effective communication skills in the engineering community for tasks related to groundwater contamination cases.
2 ) Assess data and integrate critical thinking to determine appropriate solution using scientific skills for problems related to groundwater pollution and remediation.
3 ) Explain and analyse knowledge in groundwater resources, groundwater flow and groundwater development.
