The aim of this subject is to examine how groundwater fits subsurface phase into the global hydrologic cycle and to introduce the physical characteristics and processes that govern the storage and flow of water through various geologic media and settings. This subject also focuses on methods of analysing hydrogeologic flow systems and measuring aquifer properties and potential for exploitation.
