By the end of the course the student is expected: 1. To understand and quantify hydro-physical processes taking place at the groundwater and surface-water interface. 2. To acquire the ability to link the degree and the potential form of groundwater and surface-water interaction in various geologic, landscape and climatic settings. 3. To acquire a fundamental understanding of the equations governing flow processes in the unsaturated zone. 4. To become familiar with analytical and numerical models of flow processes at the groundwater surface-water interface. 5. To become familiar with the measurement and monitoring methods at the groundwater surface-water interface. 6. To acquire basic understanding of the environmental significance of the groundwater surface-water interface.
