Groundwater Engineering

Prof. Arun K. Saraf · IIT Roorkee

Start with lecture 1 At NPTEL

About

The proposed course will provide basic understanding about groundwater engineering which will start with the introduction of surface and subsurface waters, different types of aquifers, various important concepts e.g. porosity, permeability, hydraulic conductivity, specific yield, types of flows etc. Further, the course would also discuss basic laws which govern groundwater flow. There will be discussion on importance of pumping tests, groundwater modelling and groundwater recharge techniques.

Intended audience: Under and post-graduate engineering, post graduate and doctoral students

Prerequisites: Current students of engineering, post graduate science students and PhD students should have basic knowledge of computers
