Fundamentals of groundwater hydrology; flow through porous media, both saturated and unsaturated; flow to wells in both confined and unconfined aquifers; seepage of groundwater to canals and field drains; analysis of aquifer test data to quantify flow and storage parameters; contaminants in groundwater; basic introduction to groundwater modeling.

• Describe basic hydrogeologic properties and the flow and storage of subsurface waters.
• Apply analytical solutions to calculate water levels and rates of groundwater flow, and drawdown due to pumping wells groundwater systems for 1-D, 2-D and radial flow problems
• Use the method of superposition for boundaries and other problem irregularities.
• Determine the capture zone and capture curve of a pumping well.
• Analyze pump and slug test data to quantify flow and storage parameters in aquifers.
• Execute an elementary computer model simulation for groundwater flow and analyze/report results to address groundwater management issues.
