Fundamentals of groundwater hydrology. Principles of flow and transport in groundwater aquifiers and the vadose zone. Topics include: storage, compressibility, capillarity, Darcy’s Law, aquifer parameters, steady and transient flow equations, well hydraulics, geological controls on groundwater flow, and transport of non-reactive chemical species by advection, diffusion and dispersion in porous media. A series of experiments and problems illustrating flow and transport in porous media, together with applied problems. Three hours of lecture, and three hours of lab per week with occasional field trips.
