Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces fundamental principles of groundwater flow and their applications to solve problems related to groundwater resources evaluation, development, and management. Topics include the following: the role of groundwater in geological processes; the occurrence and movement of groundwater; steady- state and transient well hydraulics; aquifer testing techniques; unsaturated flow theory; contaminant transport processes; and mathematical models describing migration and chemical evolution of contaminant plumes. Prerequisite(s): MATH 100-3 and MATH 101-3; or MATH 152-3; or permission of the instructor Preclusion(s): ENVE 351-4
