GEOL0272-2  Management of groundwater and surface water quantity

Duration :  36h Th, 36h Pr
Number of credits :  
Master in sciences and environment management Toute l'année6
Master en sciences et gestion de l'environnement, à finalité spécialisée en intervention technique, 2nd yearToute l'année6
Lecturer :  Serge Brouyère, Benjamin Dewals, Philippe Orban
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Course contents :  
A) Surface Water part Hydraulics and management of: - catchment of meteoric and surface water (run-of-river water intakes and water intakes in reservoirs), - water lifting, - water storage: water towers, reservoirs ... - water supply networks, - sewage networks and water sanitation.
B) Groundwater part (A. Dassargues and S. Brouyère) - Quantity indicators for a sustainable groundwater mamagement; - Impact of climate changes on the groundwater resource and its recharge; - Remindings: hydrogeological properties and groundwater flow equations; - Pumping tests and recovery: assumptions, interpretation methods in steady state and transient state, superposition principle, anisotropy, leakance, applications.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
A) Provide the students with background knowledge about hydraulics and management of water production, transport and distribution techniques, as well as sewage systems and water sanitation. Detail simple approaches for the hydraulic computation of flows occuring in each of those domains.
B) Allow the student to obtain a strong basic knowledge about hydrogeology and groundwater flow problems.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
Exercices and practical work sessions are organised following the corresponding theoretical lessons.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
This course will be given in Arlon
