GEOL 3700 - 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: (GEOL 1010 or 2020) and (MATH 1300 or concurrent)
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 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 basic 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 concepts of contamination and remediation.
- Students will be able to describe major water issues using hydrogeologic concepts and theories.
