Environmental Monitoring and Recovery

Water in the environment. Earth water resources. Salt water/fresh water interface and relationships. From water cycle to the water budget. Water measurements. Space and time limitation for measurement processes of water. Porosity and permeability concepts. Darcy law. Measure of permeability. Water/rock-air systems. Water budget and its components. Measurements and instruments methods for budget parameters. Water budget analysis. Direct method for the evaluation of direct infiltration. Basic physico-chemical parameter of water. Aquifer, aquitard and aquiclude and their definition. Structural hydrogeology. Boundaries of an aquifer. Phreatic, confined and artesian aquifers. Potential hydraulic head, piezometric field and piezometric lines. Classification and characterization of springs. Conceptual hydrogeological methods and water budget. Hydrographs of spring and rivers and their analysis. Hydrogeological maps. Fundamental of regional hydrogeology. Methods for evaluation of renewable groundwater and surface water resources.

The course is scheduled at the third year, requiring basic knowledge of geology, stratigraphy, chemistry and of all disciplines scheduled in the previous years.

Lectures are both in classroom and remotely, by a zoom link provided on the teacher official webpage. In addition to the lectures, some numerical-practical exercises are previewed. Field trips aimed at the knowledge of groundwater flow through springs and at the discharge measurement of rivers and streams.

Attendance to the lectures, numerical exercises and field trips is recommended but not mandatory.

The exam starts with a discussion on the hydrogeological framework of a geological or hydrogeological map, scale 1:100000 or higher. The choice of the map is made by the student. Students of other courses different from Geological Sciences will discuss the Hydrogeological Map of Central Italy (1:500000). The exam continues with questions related to the program topics. Final evaluation in 30/30 is based on the entire exam. No preliminary evaluation tests are previewed.
