GEOL 5700 - Groundwater Fundamentals and Practices Students learn fundamental concepts and theories related to occurrence, movement, storage, reaction, contamination, and remediation of surface and groundwater and their applications to real-world problems through case studies. Topics include water issues, hydrologic cycle, surface water-groundwater interaction, groundwater sustainability, streams and watersheds, types and properties of aquifers, groundwater flow and quality, basic well hydraulics, and contamination and remediation.
Requisites: Credit Hours: 4 Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken. Lecture/Lab Hours: 4.0 lecture Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I Learning Outcomes: - Students will be able to explain the components of the hydrologic cycle.
- Students will be able to explain groundwater-surface water interaction and sustainability.
- Students will be able to characterize aquifer types.
- Students will be able to solve groundwater flow and reaction problems.
- Students will be able to describe methods for hydrogeologic investigations.
- Students will be able to calculate properties and sustainable yield of an aquifer.
- Students will be able to describe basic and advanced concepts of contamination and remediation.
- Students will be able to describe major water issues using hydrogeologic concepts and theories.
