Summary
Special hydrogeological works, prospection for water supply, for investigation
and exploitation of mineral deposits, for civil engineering and agriculture,
for tapping of mineral, thermal and industrial waters. Special regime
measurements and data processing. Specific hydrogeological problems of
environmental protection (old loads, problems of special and hazardous waste
disposing at surface and in rock environment).
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Our intention is to provide a broad coverage of topics (see annotation of the course) in order to acquaint students with the basic principles of the subject taught and their practical applications.
