Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Blended, Lecture, Online
Lab Hour(s): 3

An introduction to concepts and principles governing the occurrence of groundwater in the subsurface environment and hydrologic cycle and the role of water in geologic processes. Topics include rock properties that affect aquifers; geology of groundwater basins; well hydraulics; contaminant hydrogeology; and physical, chemical and biological constraints on mass transport processes. The laboratory component examines procedures for surface and subsurface investigations, and resource exploration, evaluation, and management.
