This course covers the principles governing the movement of subterranean water (groundwater), the interaction of this water with the porous medium, and the transport of chemical constituents (contaminants) by this flow. Lesson blocks will explore traditional background elements of hydraulic engineering, well drawdown, engineering applications, and the use of computers to model groundwater flow and contaminant plumes. All course material will contribute to modeling a specific situation and developing recommendations for cleaning up contaminated groundwater.
