Learning Objectives
Teach the fundamentals of Hydrogeology and develop the knowledge of the quali-quantitative dynamics of groundwater ( GW ). Frame the principal aspects of water resources’management, expecially related to the regional setting. Classes will include training activities both indoor and in field.
Program
The Water Cycle and Water Budget ( WB ) . Measure of the WB’s parameters. Soil’s physical and hydraulic parameters. Surficial runoff and hydrometry. Aquifers: classification.
GW runoff and hydraulics. Darcy’s law. Determination of Hydraulic conductivity. GW’s head measurements. Field piezometric surveys. Piezometric maps.
Springs: types and classification. Yeld regression’curves.
Fundamentals of water chemistry and chemical parameters, main ions.
Groundwater’ pollution: main types and processes involved
Groundwater-seawater interaction. Well-head protection areas
Water wells: design, drilling, construction, hydraulic testing. Step Drawdown Test and aquifer’s test.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Comprehension of the basic concepts of GW’ flow and surficial evidences ( Springs, GW seepage )
Evaluation and layout of a typical WB
Interpretation of Hydrogeologic maps
Criteria and basic skills of Hydrogeologic surveys, hydrometry, water quality sampling.

Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
