Exploration and documentation of groundwater 1300-WPRWP
The classes are concerned on:
• hydrogeological structures in clastic and solid rocks
• taxonomy of groundwater (hydrogeological structure, aquifer, groundwater circulation system, conceptual model),
• balance of water, balance of groundwater (raw hydrogeological and detailed balance)
• division and characteristics of groundwater resources (static, dynamic, renewable, disposable, admissible volume of extracted groundwater, groundwater resources related to the aquifer compressibility, artificial, etc.,
• the legal basis for determining resources
• determination of admissible volume of extracted groundwater: calculation of resources based on the results of research pumping test
• hydrogeological documentation for identify the exploitation resources of the groundwater intake, implementation scheme (text and graphics, approval mode),
• determination of renewable groundwater
• determination of disposable resources
o criteria of limitation of groundwater usage (residual flow of rivers, ecosystems dependent on groundwater, protected areas, current water exploitation permission and their regional distribution, et al.)
o the methodology of determining the disposable resources, restrictions on the use of renewable resources,
o disposable resources during the dry season (guaranteed),
o hydrogeological documentation for identify the disposable resources of groundwater in the balance area (text and graphics)
• geothermal water and geothermal energy resources:
o the method of projection and construction of geothermal wells as well as the scope and methods of hydrogeological research in these wells,
o geothermal water and geothermal energy resources
o the ability to neutralize the water,
o hydrogeological documentation and procedures for its approval.
• the protection of groundwater resources in Poland, the management of resources (legislation, institutions responsible for water management, including groundwater management).
• mining area in connection with groundwater (therapeutic and thermal).
