(in Polish) Poszukiwanie i rozpoznawanie wód podziemnych 1300-OPRWPC-GES

The classes are concerned on:
- calculations concerning:
• hydrogeological parameters of an aquifer (under steady and unsteady flow),
• well discharge and exploitation drawdown of intake
• area of zone of intake contribution
- calculation of renewable resources by:
• hydrology methods (hydrograph separation, Kille’s, Wundt’s methods)
• indicator method (infiltration method)
- elaboration of conceptual model of a hydrogeological system,
- the rules of preparation the documentation of the exploitation resources of the groundwater intake,
-preparation of hydrogeological documentation establishing the exploitation resources of the groundwater intake.

Type of course
