The goal of the subject is that the students are getting familiar with the properties, types, occurrences, and effects of subsurface water. It is important to introduce the relationship between civil engineering and hydrogeology fields so the students know how hydrogeology relates to their individual scientific topics. They learn the basic usage of hydrogeological modelling tools, and how groundwater and waterflow affect civil engineering works. It is also introduced what the effect of a civil engineering project on a protected or sensitive aquifer.
knows the classification of groundwater,
knows what the difference between porous media and rock masses in point of the groundwater is,
knows the speciality of karstic aquifers,
aware of the basic hydrogeological modelling methods,
knows how to deal with protected and sensitive aquifers in civil engineering point of view,
aware of the most important relations between the results of civil engineering works and the groundwater,
able to determine the hydrogeological parameters of a porous media,
able to use the model of karstic and jointed aquifers,
able to determine the effect of groundwater to civil engineering works,
able to do a presentation about a given topic,
able to express her/his thoughts orderly in written and oral.
improve her/his knowledge with continuous learning,
open to use the information technology tools,
pursue to know and use of the toolkit which need for the hydrogeological problem solution,
pursue to the exact and errorless task solution.
thinks through and solve independently the hydrogeological tasks and problems,
open to accept the critical comments,
use the systematic approaches in her/his mind
Lectures, practical tasks, communication in written and oral form, use of IT tools and technics, task solved independently and in groups as well, work organization technics.
