Course Description

This course builds on knowledge of water flow and solute transport through water-saturated porous media and extends this understanding to unsaturated (air/water) conditions. All lecture notes are provided electronically before the lectures. Lectures are problem based and discussion oriented. The goal is to have students build on previous knowledge while adding the nonlinear components of the flow and transport that characterize unsaturated conditions. All students will be expected to participate in class discussions and may be called to the front to help present a topic. Grades will be based on participation, homework, and exams.
