Hydrogeology

Hydrogeology (hydro- meaning water, and -geology meaning the study of the Earth) is the area of geology that deals with the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the Earth's crust (commonly in aquifers). The terms groundwater hydrology, geohydrology, and hydrogeology are often used interchangeably.

Hydrogeology is the study of the laws governing the movement of subterranean water, the mechanical, chemical, and thermal interaction of this water with the porous solid, and the transport of energy, chemical constituents, and particulate matter by flow (Domenico and Schwartz, 1998).

Groundwater engineering, another name for hydrogeology, is a branch of engineering which is concerned with groundwater movement and design of wells, pumps, and drains. The main concerns in groundwater engineering include groundwater contamination, conservation of supplies, and water quality.

Wells are constructed for use in developing nations, as well as for use in developed nations in places which are not connected to a city water system. Wells must be designed and maintained to uphold the integrity of the aquifer, and to prevent contaminants from reaching the groundwater. Controversy arises in the use of groundwater when its usage impacts surface water systems, or when human activity threatens the integrity of the local aquifer system.

Examples of use of hydrogeology
1. Hellenic Committee of Hydrogeology holds the seventh hydrogeology conference and second workshop on «Hydrogeology of Fissured Rocks» at the Caravel Hotel in Athens.
2. Deepening wells "Most farmers dig deep wells and use pumps to irrigate land," Naeem Tokhi, a hydrogeology expert at the Ministry of Mines and Industries (MMI), said.
3. Scientists from the Hellenic Committee of Hydrogeology and other experts said it was imperative that 200,000 legal and illegal drill holes around the country be checked as soon as possible.
4. "Mr de Villepin is saying to young people: ňŔŘYou are already up to your necks in it, so a bit more won‘t make any difference.‘ But this is just a gift to company bosses." Many students are on holiday this week, hampering efforts to rally large numbers to the protests, said Emilie, a hydrogeology student at Jussieu university in Paris.
5. Giorgos Kallergis, a professor of hydrogeology at the University of Patras, told Kathimerini that Greece manages water only so it can meet consumer needs and unnecessarily wastes it with antiquated practices. »At a time when other European countries have introduced drip irrigation systems, we continue to use ‘cannons’ in Thessaly,» he said.
