Prerequisite

Overview

The course deals with the theoretical basics associated with the movement of groundwater and the movement of pollutants with groundwater, the types of pollutants in terms of source, form and characteristics, the physical and chemical properties of pollutants that affect their spread in groundwater. Through the study of the course, learn about mathematical equations and models describes the movement of pollutants as a function of concentration, distance and time. It also describes the potential dangers of groundwater pollution to human health and the environment and the necessary measures to reduce groundwater pollution
