The aim of the course is to deepen the student's knowledge and skills within the field of hydrogeology as a tool to manage and solve problems concerning civil and foundation engineering, water supply, waste treatment and urban/rural planning and construction in a way, which takes into account the needs of the inhabitants and the general goals for development of a sustainable society.
Kunskap och förståelse
För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden
Färdighet och förmåga
För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden be able to execute engineering calculations and evaluations regarding problems related to hydrogeology, groundwater hydraulics, groundwater chemistry and contaminant transport in groundwater.
Värderingsförmåga och förhållningssätt
För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden show an insight into the need for a multidisciplinary attitude and simultaneous evaluation of geological, hydrological, hydraulic, chemical, ecological, anthropogenic and other conditions when dealing with civil and foundation engineering, water supply and urban/rural planning and construction.
Hydrogeology. Groundwater occurrence, behaviour and flow in various kinds of aquifers. Soil water and soil water movement. The influence of geology on the aquifer properties. Fluctuations in groundwater level on various time-scales and in various formations. Groundwater flow and properties governing the flow characteristics. Temperature and age of groundwater. Groundwater quality and quality characteristics. Groundwater sampling, water analyses, chemical composition, equilibrium and chemical processes. Contamination processes and contaminant transport. External additions including acidification. Drilling and well technology. Hydraulic properties of aquifers and wells including storativity and transmissivity. Groundwater withdrawal and test pumpings. Analysis of data from aquifer tests by analytical and graphical methods as well as computer software. Hydraulic and hydrogeological boundaries. General descriptions of different sources of pollutants. Description and calculation of leaching of contaminants. One computer software exercise, four exercises based on geological and hydrogeological maps and one field demonstration of hydraulic tests.
Conny Svensson's compendium will be distributed by the department.
