05-MAG-HG1 Groundwater Quality
Representative Kay Hamer
In this module, topics on the movement of groundwater are briefly reviewed, nutrient and pollutant transport are discussed in detail and supplemented by isotope techniques: With the help of H2/O18 isotopes, typical questions of hydrogeology can be answered. Among other things, these techniques are used to estimate groundwater recharge rates and runtimes of groundwater. This information is important for the calibration of hydraulic groundwater models or for the evaluation of contaminant transport in groundwater (course Isotope Hydrogeology). Knowledge of groundwater hydraulics is combined with the description of chemical and physical transport processes for pollutants in soil and groundwater and their quantification (course: Organic and inorganic pollutants in groundwater). The topics are discussed in detail through the use of practical examples (Applied Hydrogeology)
1) Ability to use isotope specific methods for hydrological questions (mixing of waters, recharge rates, determination of run time); knowledge of the chemical, biological and physical processes that determine the transport of substances in groundwater. Ability to use suitable methods for recording, displaying and predicting the transport behaviour of chemicals in groundwater.
2) Knowledge of the chemical, biological and physical processes that determine the transport of substances in groundwater and ability to make scientifically sound estimates of the dispersion of substances in groundwater.
3) Ability to use suitable methods for recording, displaying and predicting the transport behaviour of chemicals in groundwater.
4) Knowledge of the possible applications of tracers in hydrogeology and their evaluation
