Description

This teaching is divided into two parts, one part concerning surface and atmospheric waters, the other part concerning groundwater. This UE is in continuity with the UE Water cycle of S1, and allows to lay the essential bases for the specific teachings of hydrodynamics and physical hydrology which will take place in S2. It is thus a transitional course between fundamental knowledge on the water cycle and specific knowledge on the study and characterization of surface and groundwater resources.

Theoretical courses associated with integrated tutorials are complemented by practical work on computers and hydrogeological maps.

Objectives

The objective of this module is to teach the basics of hydrology and hydrogeology necessary for training in the water industry. This module will be taught through lectures and practical work. Half of the module will focus on the basic notions of hydrology (hydrological response of watersheds, treatment of rainfall - IDF curves, Montana coefficients -, infiltration, decomposition of flood hydrographs, estimation of peak flows, notion of production function and transfer function), the other half on the basic notions of hydrogeology (free and confined aquifer, hydraulic load, hydrodynamic parameters, piezometric maps, pumping test, different types of geological reservoirs).

Knowledge control

Two tests of knowledge are proposed in this course:

  • A "Continuous Control" counting for 40% of the final grade, essentially on the understanding of the courses and exercises integrated in the course;
  • A "Final" test, which accounts for 60% of the final grade, covering the entire course.
