Overview

The Water Resources and Development course in Libya describes the most important water resources in Libya, especially groundwater. Where the aquifers in Libya and their storage characteristics are addressed. By studying this course, the movement of groundwater is interpreted through full knowledge of the hydraulics of wells. Where the student, when studying this course, applies experimental pumping experiments for water wells, and understands the processes of artificial recharge of underground reservoirs.
