ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 2.00 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.

Short description:

Hydrogeology – place in the system of basic and applied sciences. Origin of groundwater and forms of its occurrence in relation to geology. Hydrogeological properties of rocks. Systematic of groundwater. Mapping hydrogeological regime. The basic laws of groundwater flow (Darcy’s law). Springs and their characteristic. Elements of hydrogeological and environmental change and protection cartography. Physiochemical parameters of groundwater. Contamination and quality of groundwater. Selected aspects of regional hydrogeology. Therapeutic and mineral waters in Poland.
Full description:

The lecture is designed to acquaint a student with:

• defining the role of hydrogeology as a science,

• origin of groundwater (meteoric waters, condensation waters, fossil waters, juvenile waters),

• waters in the aeration and saturation zone and the systematic of hydrogeology

• hydrogeological medium and space (porous, fractured and karstic)

• hydrogeological properties of rocks

• aquifers characteristic and occurrence of groundwater in different geological structures and environments

- glacial and fluwioglacial sediments

- alluvial sediments

- various forms of tectonics in the pre Quaternary formations

- the role of dislocation zones in the circulation and drainage of groundwater

• the purpose and graphical methods of mapping the occurrence of groundwater (hydrogeological cross-section, hydroizohypse map)

• study of spring hydrogeology

• the fundamental rights of groundwater flow

- filtration theory, types of the groundwater flow

- Darcy’s law and the range of its applicability

- apparent seepage velocity, effective velocity

• hydrogeological parameters of aquifers and aquifuges

- permeability coefficient (methods of determining)

- transmissivity.

• hydrogeological cartography (types of hydrogeological maps and the methods of mapping).

• Physiochemical parameters of groundwater. Contamination and quality of groundwater.

• Selected aspects of regional hydrogeology (characteristic of selected hydrogeological units in Poland.

• Therapeutic and mineral waters in Poland.

Learning outcomes:

After completing the course (lectures and exercises) a student:

- determines hydrogeological properties of rocks

- categorizes rocks according to criterions of permeability and capacity

- categorizes aquifers according to criterions of capacity

- interprets hydroizohypses, hydroisobathes and hydrogeological cross-sections

- classifies and characterizes springs

- names the particular laws ruling the groundwater flow

- distinguishes and identifies the particular elements of groundwater intake

- interprets the contents of basic hydrogeological maps

- recognizes and calculates by different methods (laboratory and field) the hydrogeological parameters of aquifer.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

Final assessment of the subject based on the written exam (to take the exam the student must have a positive assessment of the exercise). There are two exam dates, (including: the first and retake exam). The form of the exam according to the criteria set in the first lecture.
Practical placement:

none
