Description: Introduction: role of groundwater in the hydrologic cycle, problems and perspectives. Occurrence and movement of groundwater: origin, age, distribution, hydrogeology of aquifers, Darcy's law, flow characteristics, general flow equations, unsaturated flow. Groundwater and Well Hydraulics: steady and unsteady radial flows in aquifers (confined, unconfined and leaky), multiple well systems, partially penetrating wells, characteristic well losses, specific capacity. Surface and Subsurface investigations of Groundwater: Geologic methods, remote sensing, geophysical exploration, electrical resistivity and seismic refraction, gravity and magnetic methods? test drilling, various logging techniques including geophysical and resistivity methods. Water wells: methods of construction, completion and development, yield tests, protection and rehabilitation of wells. Quality of groundwater: measures of quality, groundwater samples, physical, chemical and biological analyses, water quality criteria, and salinity. Pollution o
