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.

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
 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.
