This subject, conducted through a combination of classroom and computer lab sessions, provides the computer modelling tools required for particular groundwater resource management underpinned by an adequate appreciation of the underlying theory and computer algorithms. Topics include conceptual modelling, analytical modelling, numerical modelling and solution algorithms applied to the governing differential equations. Emphasis is placed on finite difference and finite element methods with applications to groundwater resource studies, borefield management and optimisation problems.

Additional subject costs: Course notes cost $20. Textbook costs to be advised.

Assessment: Continuous assessment involving assignments, problems and short informal examinations.
