Ground-water Hydrology & Containment Transport

An introduction to groundwater hydrology and contaminant transport. Topics include Darcy’s Law, fluid potential, hydraulic conductivity, the unsaturated zone, the 3-D equation of ground-water flow, well hydraulics and pump tests, including the principle of superposition, the advection-dispersion-reaction equation, pollutant fate and transport processes, and numerical simulation of groundwater. Prerequisites: CE 2210, CE 3200 or equivalent.
