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.

Target Students

Students registered in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering only. Available to JYA/Erasmus students.

Classes

Lectures and example classes.

Assessment

Assessed by end of autumn semester

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

A2.1.1 Understand the principles of fluids and solids formation and processing. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding in hydrology and hydrogeology, assessed via 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.
