Description

This course is structured into four sections with 16 lectures, each covering a specific topic related to groundwater hydrology.The sections are as follows:Section 1: IntroductionIn this section, you will identify the main objectives and the structure of “Apply Groundwater Hydrology Concepts” course.Section 2: Groundwater Hydrology ConceptIn this section, you will learn about groundwater hydrology definition, occurrence and properties. You will identify the difference between groundwater layers and the difference between confined and unconfined aquifers. You will also learn how to determine the equivalent hydraulic conductivity and groundwater investigation.Section 3: Groundwater MovementIn this section, you will learn about Darcy’s Law and how to determine the actual groundwater discharge and flow velocity through confined and unconfined aquifers for steady state. You can also learn about flow to wells.Section 4: Well Construction and Groundwater ProblemsIn this section, you will learn about the well functions, the methods of shallow and deep wells construction, the well's completion and the well development. You will identify the causes of groundwater pollution, supply well problems and how to protect them.  You will learn how the saline water intrusion occurred and how to draw the shape of the surface separating fresh and salt water. You will also learn how to control of saline water intrusion.
