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.
Language: Polish
Type of course:

obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):

The student should have knowledge of the basics of geology and chemistry
Short description:

The most important issues: The concept of the groundwater medium and its components, i.e. the rock medium and the hydrogeological space. Hydrodynamic conditions of groundwater. Physico-chemical properties of groundwater and their origin. Selected issues of regional hydrogeology, occurrence of fresh and mineral waters in Poland.
Full description:

The lecture is intended to familiarize listeners with:

- groundwater medium and its structure, hydrogeological properties of rocks and the division of rocks according to permeability;

- the concept of an aquifer, the systematics of groundwater and the most abundant aquifers in Poland;

- physical and chemical features, components and forms of their occurrence in groundwater;

- main factors and processes influencing the chemical composition of groundwater;

- the main factors governing the groundwater exchange time and methods of assessing the age of groundwater;

- the subject and practical application of hydrogeochemical research;

- diversity of regional hydrogeological conditions in Poland, including distribution of fresh, mineral and thermal waters.
