Objectives and competences
The main objective is to learn the principles of aquifer and catchment hydraulics. The secondary objectives are: know the hydrological cycle and its interaction with groundwater, calculate recharge to aquifers, understand the fundamental concepts of underground hydrology, as well as describe and interpret the movement of groundwater and obtain its hydraulic parameters. It is a 10-credit course taught using a blended learning methodology over a period of 6 months, with synchronous streaming/face-to-face classes and face-to-face activities (3-5 days).

Objectives and competences
Objectives
- Expose the hydrometeorological parameters and calculate the water balance in the soil for the quantification of the recharge due to rain infiltration.
- Understand the fundamental concepts of underground hydrology, the movement of water on the ground, Darcy's Law, hydraulic gradient and conductivity, porosity and storage coefficient, plotting and interpretation of piezometric surfaces and flow networks, etc.
- Describe and interpret the movement of underground water and the response of an aquifer to pumping, obtaining the values of the parameters of the aquifer and of the catchments, calculation of pumping fields and interferences, design and preparation of hydraulic tests.
