Groundwater Development and Tube well Technology

Course objective

The objective of this course is to provide concepts of groundwater occurrence, movement, and storage, and to analyze aquifer characteristics and groundwater flow behavior. Students will be able to design tube-wells using hydrogeological and grain size data, conduct pumping tests to determine aquifer parameters, and select appropriate drilling methods, well screens, and pumps. They will also evaluate environmental impacts and apply GIS, geophysical surveys, and digital tools for sustainable groundwater development.
