Prerequisites (description):	(in Polish) Student powinien posiadać podstawową wiedzę i umiejętności z zakresu: – hydrogeologii ogólnej, stosowanej i fizycznej, – podstaw informatyki i jej zastosowań w naukach o Ziemi, – kartografii geologicznej i hydrogeologicznej w tym systemów geoinformatycznych, – metod badań stosowanymi w hydrogeologii, – przepływu wód podziemnych i praw nim rządzących, – dynamiki wód podziemnych.
Short description:	The subject is a practical and methodical development of the subject "The dynamics of groundwater" by involving to the calculation of regional and local hydrogeological systems the theory of systems, their modeling and computer simulation. This approach makes possible to analyze, in the regional and local scale, the dynamics of groundwater and transport of the dissolved substances, taking into account the spatial heterogeneity and complex natural and human enforcement exerted on the environment of groundwater.

The lecture is designed to acquaint a student with: – the basic concept of the range of construction the hydrogeological models - the methodological basics of modeling - the different types of models, including physical and analogy models based on the electro-hydro-dynamic analogy (AEHD) and mathematical, analytical and numerical models being realized by computers calculation - the principles of schematization of hydrogeological conditions for discrete models, - numerical methods of solving systems of linear equations appearing in discrete models, - methods of validation of models - methods of optimization of the hydrogeological parameters in the models, - application of proper models to simulate different hydrogeological system states, - the methodology of analysis of the results obtained from these simulations.

Learning outcomes:	After completing the course (lectures and exercises), beside to have a basic knowledge of modeling processes and phenomena associated with the groundwater flow, a student will be able to: - define the necessary dataset for hydrogeological model - gather the data according to prepared list - process the data from a preliminary to the form required for the model - build the numerical groundwater flow model with application the necessary software - verify the correctness of the model and its accuracy in relation to the real system - optimize the parameters of the model to improve the accuracy, - carry out simulations of the process or phenomenon using the model, - analyze the results obtained from the simulation, - draw conclusions from the results.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	A written exam of the lecture.
