The Interactive Groundwater-I Book

The site provides an interactive JUPYTER-notebook based book with contents typical of an introductory groundwater course taught at higher UG level or the early PG level at universities.

The contents/structure provided here are mostly from those developed and lectured by Prof. Rudolf Liedl at TU Dresden.

The contents are geared towards learning through computing. The computing part is entirely based on Python programming language. Previous programming/coding experiences are not required or expected. Coding is to be learned as a method of learning and is considered as a skill enhancing component rather than knowledge acquiring component, which is focussed towards Groundwater learning.

The contents of the book are divided into:

  1. Lecture Parts
  2. Tutorial Parts
  3. Self-learning (simulation) tools

The lecture parts are combination of texts and simpler numerical examples. Only minimum Python codes are available on this part. The tutorial are mostly numerical examples. This aims at teaching also the basic of Python coding. The focus remains on illustrating lecture contents. Self-learning tools are interactive tools that supports the lecture and tutorial components and enhances understanding. The codes of these tools may require higher knowledge of Python programming and therefore they are not to be mastered as part of the course.

The development of the book is based on the wonderful works of the JUPYTER Book Team
