This course will cover theory, equations, fundamental principles, and processes of groundwater flow and contaminant transport in the subsurface zone, at an advanced level.Topics include the unsaturated and saturated flow theory, groundwater-surface water interaction, and contaminant transport steady- and transient state.

This course introduces the fundamental principles of aqueous chemistry and water-rock interactions with emphasis on the evolution of natural groundwater chemistry. Topics include basic thermodynamics, chemical equilibria, ion association and complexing, oxidation-reduction reactions. Interaction of groundwater with porous media; mineral dissolution/precipitation reactions, ion exchange, surface ionization of oxides.

Application of groundwater flow equations to pumping wells, the analytical techniques to solve these equations, and their practical implementation for steady and transient radial flow in confined, unconfined and leaky aquifers. Pumping test-methods data analysis and interpretation for hydrogeologic boundaries, image well theory, recharge boundary condition, barrier boundary and determination of aquifer boundary, multiple well system, partially penetrating wells, well interference and well spacing.

Numerical modelling techniques in groundwater, finite difference and particle tracking methods to solve problems in groundwater flow. Conceptual model development, numerical model implementation and model calibration. Overview of various software programs for groundwater flow and transport modeling and accompanying pre- and post-processing programs based on the USGS MODFLOW flow.

Principles and procedures of groundwater modelling and the use of computer models for groundwater resources management and protection.
