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.
