Hours
3.0 Credit, 3 Lecture, 0 Lab
Equations governing fluid flow through saturated porous media under various geologic conditions; applying hydraulic characteristics to analysis of well and aquifer conditions.
Theoretical Background
Develop an in-depth understanding of the theoretical and mathematical basis of aquifer boundary conditions and the computation of aquifer parameters (hydraulic conductivity, storage coefficient, and transmsissivity).
Applied Technology
- Develop a working use of the methods of aquifer parameter analysis including graphical and computer based methods.
Problem Solving Techniques
Enhance the ability to solve problems by analyzing real world data sets ( including a final project), some of which do not have a unique solution.
Writing Skills
Become better science writers by weekly practice.
