|
| Course contents : |
- Soil and groundwater pollution sources contaminant types, source types...).
- Natural and modified groundwater quality. Contaminant dispersion and attenuation in soils and groundwater.
- Legal context and methodologies for soil and groundwater protection. Risk assessment and management of contaminated soils and groundwater.
- Investigation techniques for soil and groundwater pollution.
- Remediation techniques (essentially in situ).
- Additional seminars and talks by experts and professionals in the field.

|
| Course objective : | Elementary knowledge for a meaningful analysis of a problem of soil or groundwater pollution (problem description and conceptualisation, decision making...).
Knowledge on mechanisms for contaminant mobility and attenuation, on risk assessment and management, on site characterization and remediation. |
|
| Prerequisites : | It is preferable to have prerequisite in hydrogeology. Knowldege on soil sciences, chemistry and groundwater flow and transport modelling is an advantage but not required. |
|
| Workshops : | Practical works are organised during most courses on theoretical examples and simplidied case studies. A case study has also to be performed on sa simplified yet realistic case study, by groups of 3 to 4 students. |
|
| Organization : | First semester
Wednesday PM (1:30 - 5:30)
Room R21 Building B28 |
|
| Written notes : | Pdf copies of slides. Book and web references provided. |
|
| Assessment : | Based on (1) the report of the work performed in groups and presented at the beginning of the exam, (2) written or oral evaluation. |
