Learning Outcomes
The course aims to give students skills to: (1) develop a detailed hydrologic and hydrogeologic characterizations, (2) build or integrate projects for exploration and evaluation natural water resources, (3) design and development processes and structures to exploit aquifer systems and units, (4) integrate management teams and sustained exploration of water (surface and groundwater) resources.
