Objectives and competences
The main objective is to deepen the methods of exploration and hydrogeological prospecting for the characterization of aquifers and geological formations. The secondary objectives are to gain the ability to determine the conceptual model of hydrogeological operation, as well as learn how to design an underground water catchment or a control borehole and the procedures for its final development and maintenance, sealing and abandonment. It is a 9-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).
