GEOL 389 - Groundwater Modeling 4 s.h.

An introduction to numerical and computer methods in groundwater hydrology. Course topics include finite-difference and finite- element techniques, use of professional-level software, field and laboratory methods for obtaining the data needed for aquifer analysis, interpretation of models, how to avoid misinterpreting them, and how to present the data in written and oral form. Field work includes surveying, water-well inventories, geologic interpretation, and pumping tests. Laboratory work includes interpretation of geologic maps and cross sections, computer modeling of various aquifer types, and graphical presentation of results. Offered Spring only.
