Objectives: |
In this laboaratory
investigation work is developted (Fig. 8,
Fig. 9,
Fig. 10)
in the domain of Hydrogeology (construction of captations, diagraphs, hydrogeochemistry,
paleohydrology, hydrogeochemistry modelation and
underground flows, studies of environmental impact),
collaborating, within this domain, with mainy portugues2
and foreign3 institutions
for a better evaluation and protection of the resources
of the underground water. It also serves as support for
lab classes of Hydrogeology, General Hydrology Seminar,
Project of the 5th year and to pos-graduate essays, not
only on the area of Hydrogeology but also in other areas
(Soil Geochemistry, Applied Geophysics, Minerals and
Industrial Rocks, GIS).
