Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able:
- to understand the basic principles of groundwater flow and properties of different types of aquifers
- to identify the boundary conditions of an aquifer
- to apply methods for parameter estimation of different types of aquifers under steady and usteady state of flow.
- to calculate appropriate well distances under specified hydraulic constraints
