Groundwater Contamination Engineering Syllabus for B.Tech 7th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
Groundwater Contamination Engineering Laboratory B.Tech (R13) seventhsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To impart knowledge on groundwater movement, development of ground water resources hydro chemical behaviour of contaminants and the principles involved in contaminant transport through groundwater.
UNIT I : INTRODUCTION [8 hours]
Ground water and the hydrologic cycles- Ground water as a resource- Ground water contamination- Ground water as a geotechnical problem- Ground water and geologic processesPhysical properties and principles- Darcy’s law- Hydraulic head and fluid potential- Piezometers and nests.
UNIT II : OCCURANCE AND MOVEMENT OF GROUND WATER [9 hours]
Hydraulic conductivity and permeability- Homogeneity and anisotropy- Porosity and voids ratioUnsaturated flow and the water table- Steady state flow and transient flow- Compressibility and effective stress- Transmissivity and storativity- Equations of ground water flow – Limitations of Darcian Approach- Hydro dynamic dispersion.
UNIT III : RESOURCE EVALUATION [9 hours]
Development of ground water resources- Exploration of Aquifers- The response of ideal aquifers to pumping- Measurement of parameters- Laboratory tests- Numerical simulation for aquifer yield prediction- Artificial recharge and induced infiltration- Land subsidence- Sea water intrusion.
[TOTAL : 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES: The students completing the course will have the ability to
- explain the different hydro dynamic principles of groundwater flow, contamination and solute transport
- evaluate groundwater resources
- apply groundwater contaminations models
