| Course objective : | To acquire scientific and technical knowledge in the scope of hydrogeology (estimation, working and protection of aquifers) to be able to debate and work with water specialists.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- to synthesize water cycle
- to calculate the balance of an hydrological system
- to use accurately technical vocabulary relating to hydrogeology
- to analyse different kinds of hydrogeological maps
- to synthesize the methodology to adopt for an hydrogeological study |
