Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| The course aims at describing the interactions between soils and water as well as several measurements technics used to assess the hydrodynamic behaviour of soils. It's of major importance to understand the role played by the soils in separation between rainfall infiltration towards groundwater and runoff towards surface water.
The courses contains
- fondamentals of soil physics
- measurement technics of several hydropodological variables (infiltration capacity, conductivity curve, retention curve, etc...)
- sampling technics and measurements in the lab |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, the student will be able to
- explain the relations between soil and water as well as the infiltration and retention processes
- realize some basic measurements on field as well as in the lab,
- interpret these measurements |
|
