Course objectives
The course is devoted to the students of Masters program. The main objectives of the course are:
learn basic principles of numerical groundwater flow modeling;
analyze and solve real problems of groundwater supply, contamination, impact of mining and building constructions to groundwater levels.
Learning outcomes
At the ent of the course, students should be able to solve practical examples:
run basic groundwater flow model with simple boundary conditions;
run model with real boundary and initial conditions (river, stream, recharge, drain packages);
perform models with both steady state and transient flow simulations;
design of groundwater supply system, including setting the positions of pumping wells and determining the pumping rate;
assess the impact of open pit to grounwater levels;
assess the impact of building construction to groundwater levels and flow velocities;
design pump and treat system in aquifer with contaminant plume;
design non-permeable barries and permeable reactive barrier in aquifer with contaminant plume;
