Groundwater Modelling
Objectives
To know the potential and limitations of mathematical models used in hydrogeological simulation. To acquire the skills and base knowledge necessary to the use of 2D and 3D hydrogeological modeling software. To meet the necessary conditions for development of physical models of groundwater flow. To know the most important units and properties and the potential of reactive processes and transport modeling of different types of contaminants in groundwater. To understand limitations and possibilities of the particular case of hydrogeological modeling of massive fractured rocks. To acquire practical on hydrogeological modeling and contaminant transport and reactive processes using different practical case studies. To acquire practical knowledge that is necessary for the modeling processes related with active or passive treatment of groundwater, such as "pump-and-treat"; installation of "drains", "passive barriers" or "active barriers".
To understand and to correlate geophysical results with its respective possible groundwater models. To generate flux model from hydrigeohysic units.
To understand the diferences of groundwater fluxes betweeen fractured rock massifs and primary porosity massifs.

Teaching method
The teaching model adopted is kind of theoretical and practical with: i) theoretical lectures and practical multimedia support; ii) practice with problem solving using adequate software.
Evaluation method
Theoretical and practical component (30%) and laboratory / project (70%). Theory and practice: a test that may be substituted forexamination. Component of the project: to get with delivery andevaluation of exercises, divided into two modules (35% each module).
