	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE INCLUDES THEORETICAL LECTURES (30 HOURS), CLASSROOM EXERCISES (45 HOURS) AND PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES (15 HOURS). PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE THE OBSERVATION AND MEASUREMENT OF SOME NATURAL PHENOMENA RELATED TO THE WATER RESOURCE, ITS QUANTIFICATION AND ITS INTERACTION WITH POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS AND WITH THE SOIL AND SUBSOIL SECTOR, BOTH IN THE FIELD AND IN THE LABORATORY. CLASSROOM EXERCISES WILL INCLUDE THE APPLICATION OF PHYSICAL-MATHEMATICAL MODELS AND METHODS OF CALCULATION THROUGH THE USE OF SOFTWARE AND PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES, WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO A REAL CASE STUDY SUBJECT OF A FINAL REPORT.

	Verification of learning
	THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES SET WILL BE MADE BY AN ORAL INTERVIEW AT THE END OF THE LABORATORY. THE ORAL INTERVIEW (LASTING APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES) NORMALLY INVOLVES A DISCUSSION ON THE CONTENTS OF THE FINAL REPORT PRODUCED WITH REFERENCE TO PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES AND EXERCISES AND QUESTIONS ON THE THEORETICAL-THEORETICAL ASPECTSAPPLICATIONS ADDRESSED IN THEORETICAL LESSONS. THE PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW IS TO VERIFY, ON THE BASIS OF THE RELEVANCE AND COMPLETENESS OF THE ANSWERS GIVEN, THE LEVEL OF DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE, THE ABILITY TO LINK TOPICS, THE QUALITIES OF CLARITY AND CRITICAL SYNTHESIS POSSESSED BY THE STUDENT. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE AWARD, FULL SATISFACTION OF ALL THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS SHALL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
