Summary
This module is designed for students with an interest in water resources, and provides an understanding of the movement and storage, pollution and pollution control, and the water-resource provision from both surface and sub-surface waters.
Re-Assessment: The module will be re-assessed through 100% individual examination, centrally timetabled in the University's resit period.

Educational Aims
To ensure that students are able to apply appropriate quantitative science and engineering tools to the analysis of problems. To ensure that students possess relevant practical skills acquired through laboratory work.Learning Outcomes
A2 Chemical Engineering Principles:
A2.1.1 Understand the principles of fluids and solids formation and processing.
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding in hydrology and hydrogeology, assessed via presentation- and essay-based coursework, and in the text-based questions in the final exam.
A2.1.2 Be proficient in applying these principles to problems involving fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer and reaction engineering.
Demonstrate problem solving in hydrology and hydrogeology via guided class-based problems, assessed via similar questions in the final exam.
A2.3.1 Be familiar with the application and limitations of a range of modelling approaches including first-principles models, simple empirical correlations, and artificial intelligence approaches.
Demonstrate understanding of empirical correlation and numerical modelling relevant to hydrology and hydrogeology via guided class-based problems, assessed via similar questions in the final exam.
