Provide foundation for addressing
groundwater flow and contamination problems. In the first 5 weeks we
review fundamental principles, describe the anatomy of typical
aquifers, discuss how to characterize such aquifers, and introduce
some basic tools for analyzing the physical flow and transport
processes. In the second 5 weeks, we discuss the occurrence of natural
inorganics in groundwater (chemistry), use of chemistry to define
regional flow paths, and physical and chemical processes of pollutant
transport. The lectures emphasize both theory and concepts, often
discussing how the 'real world' may or may not be adequately represented
with certain methods of analysis.
