Groundwater Hydrology Vs Groundwater Engineering
Protection of groundwater supplies, avoiding future groundwater contamination, and restoration of water quality in aquifers being the prime concerns of groundwater engineering (along with the problems of municipal and industrial waste disposal, agricultural practices, petroleum spills, mining activities, and contamination of coastal groundwater supplies by saltwater intrusion); and further, groundwater engineering remaining concerned with groundwater supply facilities (wells, well fields, collectors, etc.), dewatering facilities (trenches, mines, drains, etc.), waste disposal facilities (landfills, pits, basins, etc.), heat storage and extraction facilities (heat pump and geothermal energy), and facilities for land subsidence control, to what extent, a course on groundwater hydrology @ Master’s level shape the students to apply groundwater engineering aspects?
