Groundwater Exploration and Management with Laboratory

The course pourposes are to acquire knowledge of the groundwater flow, with reference to the quantitative assessment of water resources, detailing what has been learned in general during bachelor degree. The student must understand how to connect the geological features of the territory with the physical laws that describe the groundwater flows.

Applying knowledge and understanding
During the course of the study problems are proposed and their resolution is set relative to the parametrization of the geological media and at the best ad sustainable use of water resources, also with use of the software. In the applications, the theoretical aspect must be linked to the different case studies proposed, with varying complexity and data availability.
Making judgements
As part of the proposed problem solving, the student has to move on to faster in time and more efficient applications, at a first stage, also with a common work between students who then have to entertain personal ideas and therefore single work.
Communication skills
The presentation of a project, the execution of exercises, the conversation between a student and a teacher during lessons will develop oral and practical skills in dealing with water resources issues.
Learning skills
At the end of the course the student is able to use a specific language and connect the various quantitative aspects discussed in the course with regard to groundwater resources, including processing complexity.
