Course objectives
The course is devoted mainly for students of Bc. program. The main goal is to learn how to propose and evaluate hydrodynamic tests at the boreholes, esp. at the groundwater supply wells and monitoring boreholes.
Learning outcomes
After finishing the course students will be able to: - design appropriate hydrodynamic test - evaluate the hydrodynamic test - identify and evaluate the boundary conditions.
Syllabus
  • 1) porosity of geological materials, hydraulic parameters
  • 2) steady state and transient flow, boundary conditions
  • 3) types of hydrodynamic tests, extraction and observation boreholes
  • 4) pumping tests
  • 5) recovery tests
  • 6) slug and bail tests
  • 7) evaluation of hydrodynamic tests with boundary conditions
  • 8) long term pumping tests for groundwater supply and mineral water supply.
