4250 Hydrogeology (Groundwater)
This course is a practical approach to the study of groundwater with
emphasis on water quality, underground flow, pumping, and infiltration /
recharge principles in relationship to the geologic environment. The course
includes practical methods of water quality evaluation, basic soil science as
related to hydrogeology, groundwater flow analysis and experimentation,
as well as septic system design and evaluation.
Since mathematical models are involved, foundational instruction in graphing and algebraic manipulation are
given. Students will also be exposed to foundational knowledge in geology and chemistry pertinent to this
course. Self-guided group fieldwork is required.
