Teaching methods

Theoretical and practical lessons will be carried out in order to explain the main topics of the discipline and emphasise the ability of the students in terms of groundwater flow net reconstruction, water balance calculation and aquifer vulnerability assessment.

Assessment methods and criteria

During the course, several problems will be analysed and solved by the students, to simulate the solution of professional scenarios. This approach allows the students growth also in terms of technical and scientific language.
The final evaluation is an oral exam. During the exam, different problems must be solved by the students. The exam is made of five questions at least, to explore the main topics of the program. The laude can be acquired in case of outstanding capacity of problem solving.
