Subject Group of Field Engineering for Environment 21202 Hydrogeology Summer Description and rationale: This course outlines transport phenomena of water and solutes and the related chemical and biological reactions in the subsurface environment. The course is composed of three issues. The first is the principle of groundwater flow. The second is the groundwater chemistry. The last is the underground migration of solutes in the groundwater. This study helps students to understand the phenomena in the subsurface environment, giving rise to the solutions of soil and groundwater pollution by hazardous materials. Keywords: groundwater flow, groundwater chemistry, geochemical reactions, solute migration, environmental assessment Pre-requisite: none Expected students: master Instructor: Dr Toshifumi IGARASHI ([email protected]) Course outline: (1) Introduction Fundamental aspects of groundwater, soil, and rock (2) Principle of groundwater flow Hydraulic conductivity and storativity of aquifer, and groundwater flow (3) Chemical properties of groundwater Chemical constituents in groundwater and the related geochemical reactions (4) Chemical evolution of natural groundwater Hydrochemical sequences and groundwater dating (5) Groundwater contamination Transport processes of contaminants and the remediation Grading: 20%: class participation 30%: interim presentation and assignments 50%: final examination or reporting Text books and references: (1) Handout made by the course instructor will be delivered.
