    AE2102 Quantitative Hydrogeology 7.

    5 credits
    Quantitative Hydrogeology
    Course syllabus for AE2102 valid from Autumn 07

    This is a translation of the Swedish, legally binding, course syllabus.

    Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F


    Education cycle: Second cycle
    Main field of study: Built Environment

    Intended learning outcomes


    After fulfilment of the course the general aim is that the student should be able to

    Manage groundwater projects – including water resources problems and quality and contamination problems
    related to the subsurface water.

    Specific aims are that the student should be able to

    Establish a conceptual hydrological and hydrogeological framework, define boundary conditions, prepare
    computer model settings, determine the essential parameters associated with water resources and groundwater
    contamination problems for a watershed,
    Carry out flow and transport modelling of subsurface water for scenario analyses, quantitative assessments and
    risk assessments for a given site (a landfill is used as a study case in the course), apply tools for decision aid
    related to water resources and water quality problems,
    Carry out risk analysis for groundwater systems,
    Plan and select methods for remediation of contaminated soil,
    Carry out and interpret field measurements (geophysics, water sampling, geohydraulics, piezometers, etc.),
    Prepare and communicate a vocational site-specific report based on groupwork for a groundwater-modelling
    project in an international project.

    Course main content


    The course lectures will include: (i) an introduction to hydrogeological units; conceptual models of groundwater
    recharge and flow; review of the principles of subsurface flow, theories of solute transport in porous and fractured
    media, confined, confined-leaky, unconfined aquifers and regional subsurface flow systems, (ii) hydrochemistry with
    the emphasis on mineral water equilibria in various aquifer media and aquifer types; transport processes, such as
    advection, diffusion, dispersion and sorption, related to substances in hydrogeological media; (iii) parameterisation by
    means of geostatistics and inverse modelling; accounting for the variability of hydrogeological data; variogram
    analysis, kriging and simulation, (iv) groundwater vulnerability and protection, and (v) soil remediation, and (vi) risk
    analysis.

    The exercise projects will render a major course report. The exercises are directed towards problem solving, generally
    with computer models, and require student participation. Students are permitted to follow their own line of work within
    the group project, provided that it is of relevance and the course supervisors agree to it.

    Language of instruction
    Language of instruction is specified in the course offering information in the course and programme directory.
