Course Contents

Fundamentals of aquifer hydraulics. Types of aquifers. Darcy’s Law. Groundwater equations of motion. Initial and boundary conditions. Steady and unsteady flow to partial and fully penetrating wells in confined, semi-confined and unconfined aquifers. Analysis of pumping tests. Detection of aquifer boundaries and evaluation of the optimum radial distance between the pumping wells. Periodic pumping with constant and variable discharge. Artificial recharge of aquifers.

Educational Goals

The aim of this course is to provide students with the fundamental knowledge, concerning:the fundamental concepts of groundwater flow theory and the analyticalmethods for solving practical problems.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to distinguish the types of aquifers and their characteristic properties, apply appropriate techniques to determine the hydrogeological parameters, recognize impermeable boundaries, calculate the optimal distance between pumping wells, and investigate the possibility of applying artificial recharge to augment ground water supplies.

General Skills

Retrieve, analyze and synthesize data and information employing use of necessary technologies. Individual/autonomous assignment. Design and project management. Respect for the natural environment.
