Planetary Geology: An Introduction
A second edition of Planetary Geology: An Introduction book will be published by Dunedin Academic Press at the end of June 2013 More...
GEOLM022 Hydrogeology and Groundwater Resources
AIMS
To introduce the student to the physical processes governing groundwater resources and to demonstrate the scientific basis for groundwater resources assessment and management.
OUTCOMES
Knowledge and understanding of:
1. Processes and physical / hydraulic parameters controlling groundwater flow.
2. The concepts of water balance, storage, and equilibrium / transient groundwater conditions.
3. The hydrogeological characteristics of important aquifers.
4. The representation of groundwater flow in aquifers, using numerical models.
CONTENT
The course presents the principles of physical hydrogeology (aquifer hydraulic properties, groundwater hydraulics, aquifer investigations, recharge and river-aquifer interactions) and demonstrates their application to groundwater resources management through consideration of aquifer water balances and an introduction to groundwater flow modelling.
