Hydrogeology involves the study of water beneath the earths surface, in particular groundwater.
It involves the study of the flow and chemical interactions of groundwater within aquifers and requires an understanding of geology, maths, physics, and chemistry. This course will prepare you to deal with groundwater dynamics, exploration, drilling and aquifer tests, sustainable allocation of groundwater, contamination, and computer modelling.
