ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	3.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	Students should have basic knowledge related to: - the basics of hydrogeology - the basics of differential and integral calculus The knowledge on these subjects student can earn on the following compulsory subjects at the Faculty of Geology, University of Warsaw in the first-cycle studies: - Hydrogeology - Mathematics
Short description:	The dynamics of groundwater is a fundamental branch of science for hydrogeologists and experts in the field of environmental protection. Mathematical and physical method of description of groundwater flow and mass transport (pollution) through the ground medium are an inalienable tool of qualitative interpretation and quantitative calculations supporting all decisions and planning for the economy and the protection of groundwater resources. The subject includes presentation of the groundwater flow and mass transport equations from the conservation of mass, indication of the extent of their applicability, presentations on examples some methods for solving these equations and methods of their use in practice.
Full description:	The lecture is designed to acquaint a student with: - field of knowledge, the fundamental rights and definitions - hydrogeological parameters of aquifer system - the structure of groundwater flow - groundwater flow system in hydrogeological structures - fluid flow in the rock medium, the types of filtration - the general equation of the flow, the physical meaning of individual segments of the equation - function of the groundwater system recharge - the boundary condition of the hydrogeological systems - examples of solutions of the general flow equation -the schemes of flow to wells in steady and unsteady conditions - variable density flows -the issue of mass and heat transport in groundwater; the main component processes of migration of substances in aquifer systems. - advection-dispersion equation; boundary conditions and initial solution.

Learning outcomes:	After completing the lecture a student: - defines the elements of the aquifer system and describes the relationships between them - explains the physical meaning of the hydrogeological parameters - describes the structure of the filtration flow and interprets the flow net - explains the differences between the types of fluid filtration in the rock; indicates the conditions under which different types of filtration can occurred - explains the particular segments of the general flow equation and their physical meaning - identifies the boundary surface of the aquifer system and determines the relations of the delimitated system and the surroundings - explains the meaning of boundary and initial conditions in the models of filtration field - calculate the groundwater flow, according to the basic schemes - distinguishes the stationary and non-stationary flows - describes basic schemes of inflow to the drainage installations - explains the problems related to flows of fluids with different densities - describe the main components of the mass transport process in groundwater - explains the physical meaning of the segments of equation of advection-dispersion gives the conditions for its solution.
