Objectives and competences

The main objective of this course is to introduce the overall approach to be taken when modelling natural processes based on groundwater hydrology and to learn how to use various related software programs. Know the numerical methods and basic tools necessary to solve the equations that govern flow and transport in the subsoil and be able to apply it in the framework of water resources management, impact correction and scenario projection. This 5-credit course is taught over 4-5 months, with synchronous streaming/face-to-face classes.

This postgraduate course forms part of the master's degree or postgraduate degree
