JNTUH B.Tech 3rd year (3-2) Ground Water Hydrology gives you detail information of Ground Water Hydrology (Elective-I) R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
UNIT — I
Ground Water Occurrence and Movement: Ground water hydrologic cycle. origin of ground Water, rock properties effecting ground water, vertical distribution of ground water, zone of aeration and zone of saturation, geologic formation as Aquifers, types of aquifers, porosity, Specific yield and Specific retention. Permeability, Darcy’s law, storage coefficient, Transmissivity, differential equation governing ground water flow in three dimensions derivation, ground water flow equation in polar coordinates system, ground water flow contours their applications.
UNIT—II
Analysis of Pumping Test data-I: Steady flow ground water flow towards a well in confined and unconfined aquifers-Dupit’s and Theism’s equations, Assumptions, Formation constants, yield of an open well interface and well tests. Unsteady flow towards a well — Non equilibrium equations-Thesis solution-Jacob and Chow’s simplifications, Leak aquifers.
UNIT — III
Surface and Subsurface Investigation: Surface methods of exploration-Electrical resistivity and Seismic refraction methods. Subsurface methods-geophysical logging and resistivity logging. Aerial Photogrammetry applications along with Case Studies in Subsurface Investigation.
