Course description
Groundwater, its origin, its movement on the ground, its physical-chemical interaction with soils and rocks as well as its social, economic and environmental value are studied. The flow of water in a porous medium, the mechanics of aquifers and the hydraulics of catchments are quantitatively studied. Piezometry, water balance and recharge. Chemical processes and reactions in soils and rocks. Interaction with surface waters (rivers, wetlands). Interaction with the sea and oceans. Interaction with the hydrosphere and the atmosphere. Effects of natural or anthropic chemical processes on the environment. Relationship between groundwater and the environment. Sustainable management of aquifers, corrective measures and artificial recharge.
