Prerequisites
Good knowledge of geomaterials and soil mechanics as taught in courses LGCIV1031 and LGCIV1072
Main themes
The objective of this course is to learn how to manage the different scientific and technical aspects related to geoenvironmental hydrogeology. It contributes to the management of environmental risk, which is an integral part of the geotechnical engineer's job.
The course has two parts:
The course has two parts:
- The first part deals with hydrogeology: Fundamental principles of fluid flow in porous media are presented, as well as the methods applied in order to characterize and manage aquifer resources. Exercise sessions allow to understand practical problems related to the exploitation and management of groundwater (including the basics of geothermal / hydrothermal)
- The second part deals with the geoenvironment: after an introduction regarding the quality of the subsoil in an industrial-polluted context, the different processes of migration and underground dispersion of contaminants are addressed. Environmental risk estimation methodologies using field data are used to illustrate the values of different soil remediation techniques. Special attention is given to non-aqueous liquid phase contaminants (NAPLs).
