Course Description:	This course covers fundamentals of subsurface flow and transport, emphasizing the role of groundwater in the hydrologic cycle, the relation of groundwater flow to geologic structure, and the management of contaminated groundwater. The course will cover the following topics: Darcy equation, flow nets, mass conservation, the aquifer flow equation, heterogeneity and anisotropy, storage properties, regional circulation, unsaturated flow, recharge, stream-aquifer interaction, well hydraulics, flow through fractured rock, numerical models, groundwater quality, contaminant transport processes, dispersion, decay, and adsorption. It includes laboratory and computer demonstrations, and is a core requirement for Environmental and Geoenvironmental M.Eng.
Course Objectives:	A study of the engineering principles involved in analyzing the quantity and quality of water in natural and developed systems. An introduction to surface water and groundwater hydrology for engineers. This subject aims at making the students to understand the relevance of various components of hydrologic cycle, which are responsible for spatial and temporal distribution of water availability in any region.
