CE6008 GROUNDWATER ENGINEERING L T P C 3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVES:
• To introduce the student to the principles of Groundwater governing Equations and
Characteristics of different aquifers,
• To understand the techniques of development and management of groundwater.
UNIT I HYDROGEOLOGICAL PARAMETERS 9
Introduction – Water bearing Properties of Rock – Type of aquifers - Aquifer properties – permeability, specific yield, transmissivity and storage coefficient – Methods of Estimation– Ground water table fluctuation and its interpretations – Groundwater development and Potential in India – GEC norms.
UNIT II WELL HYDRAULICS 9
Objectives of Groundwater hydraulics – Darcy‟s Law - Groundwater equation – steady state flow
- Dupuit Forchheimer assumption - Unsteady state flow - Theis method - Jacob method -Slug tests - Image well theory – Partial penetrations of wells.
UNIT III GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT 9
Need for Management Model – Database for groundwater management –groundwater balance study – Introduction to Mathematical model – Conjunctive use – Collector well and Infiltration gallery.
UNIT IV GROUNDWATER QUALITY 9
Ground water chemistry - Origin, movement and quality - Water quality standards – Health and aesthetic aspects of water quality - Saline intrusion – Environmental concern and Regulatory requirements
UNIT V GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION 9
Artificial recharge techniques – Remediation of Saline intrusion– Ground water management studies – Protection zone delineation, Contamination source inventory, remediation schemes
- Ground water Pollution and legislation.
OUTCOMES:
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
• Students will be able to understand aquifer properties and its dynamics after the completion of the course. It gives an exposure towards well design and practical problems of groundwater aquifers.
• Students will be able to understand the importance of artificial recharge and groundwater quality concepts.
