Introduction
The program aims to train highly qualified engineers who are competent in dealing with geological and environmental issues concerning surface and subsurface waters, the protection of quantity and quality of groundwater resources, and the remediation of contaminated sites. The main focus of education is placed on groundwater resources, which play a more and more significant role in drinking water supply, mineral and medicinal water utilization, and geothermal energy production.
