Actual problems of applied hydrogeology and groundwater protection (part1) 1300-PSPHS3Z1
Seminar is designed to acquaint students with commonly found hydrogeological problems during future work and ways of their solutions. These problems mainly concern on:
- groundwater supply
- monitoring and protection of groundwater quality
- threats of groundwater by pollution from/from under land surface and the way of its liquidation
- renewability of groundwater resources
- quantitative threats of groundwater resources
- vulnerability of hydrogeological systems to contaminations
- dewatering of mines, including the restoration of groundwater table at end of exploitation
- geothermal water
- therapeutic water.
