The content of this course refers to: (i) Introduction to groundwater modeling, (ii)
Development of conceptual model (hydrolgeological system analysis, determination
of hydraulic and hydrologic boundaries, model domain characteristics, spatial and
temporal discretization), (ii) Design and construction of groundwater flow model
(numerical methods, software and codes, model domain and boundary conditions),
(iii) steady state and transient conditions in groundwater modeling (iii) Calibration
and sensitivity analysis (parameter estimation), (iv) Forecasting and uncertainty
(uncertainty analysis, forecast uncertainty), (v) Mass and contaminant transport
(simulation of contaminant transport under saturated/unsaturated conditions), (vi)
variable density flow (simulation of seawater intrusion), (vii) Simulation of thermal
transport in shallow geothermal fields, (viii) Groundwater model report.

Learning Outcomes : Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: • Design an integrated groundwater model (including flow and pollutant transport). • Use appropriate computational codes for simulating hydrological processes in porous media. • Utilize appropriate Hydroinformatics tools for groundwater simulation. • Model typical hydro-environmental problems such as groundwater over-exploitation, groundwater management in technical works, groundwater management during mining activity, pollution of underground aquifers, seawater intrusion, nitrate pollution from point or diffuse sources, etc. • Evaluate the results of groundwater simulation models. • Collaborate with fellow students for the development, construction, and presentation of a groundwater flow and pollutant transport model in hydrogeological systems.
