EAPS 58500 - Hydraulic Analysis Of Ground-Water Systems


Credit Hours: 3.00. Investigates the general theory and application of hydraulic testing and analysis of aquifer and aquitard properties for such parameters as porosity, permeability, hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, storativity, specific yield, dispersivity, and others. Theory of porous media flow is taught with applications to hydraulic testing. Confined, unconfined, semi-confined, transient, and steady-state flows are analyzed. Pump tests, slug tests, tracer tests, and regional analyses of flow nets are stressed. Classroom teaching is complemented with numerous problem sets. Offered in alternate years. Prior course work in hydrogeology and differential equations is required. Typically offered Spring.
