Field Course Hydrogeology

As part of the module "Experimentelle Hydrogeologie" (experimental hydrogeology), students attend a one-week field course at the end of the summer semester. In this course, students learn the methods, instruments and equipment of practical hydrogeological field work. The focus is on:

• Handling groundwater monitoring wells
• Discharge measurements
• Pumping test
• Slug&Bail test
• Sampling of groundwater and surface water
• Evaluation of climate data (weather stations)

The field course takes place at the hydrogeological test field of the department in Berlin-Hobrechtsfelde (more information). The test site is located near the Buch S-Bahn station (approx. 10 min by bike or 30 min on foot away).
