The purpose of the discipline is to provide future specialists with theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of groundwater use, understanding of the main and special types of groundwater, the possibilities of their use, protection against pollution and conservation. Students get basic knowledge about groundwater and its classification, hydrogeological stratification, types of groundwater, as well as environmental impact (natural and anthropogenic) on groundwater and vice versa. As part of the course, students will be introduced to the basic concepts of groundwater dynamics and the assessment of groundwater reserves.
