Bachelor program
The bachelor's program is characterized by basic subjects in applied geology, identification of
water-bearing geological layers, knowledge of water paths, characteristics of the water reservoir,
the quality and quantity of groundwater, methods of exploitation and management, and in accordance
with the national plan for water management in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Program objectives
The main objective of the Department of Hydrogeology is to provide students with the latest
developments in the field of hydrogeology, assisted by integration with modern technology such as
remote sensing, GIS, geophysics, Artificial Intelligent and statistics. This objective leads to the
following sub-objectives:
-
Graduating highly qualified students and improving their skills in subjects related to the field
of Hydrogeology to make them suitable for the job market.
-
Participate in research and consultation studies in the department, preparation and writing of
technical reports; practical, analytical and research skills; capacity for self-learning and
self-development and utilizing new
technologies in the field of hydrogeology.
-
Trained students to solve problems in hydrogeology and make decisions about hydrogeologic issues
that involve
uncertainty in data, scant/incomplete data, and the variability of natural materials.
-
Built capability to evaluate the consequences at various scales of using groundwater: 1)
local/physical changes (e.g., changes in flow), 2) ecosystem changes (e.g., changes in
groundwater/surface water interactions), and 3)
political/social issues (e.g., water rights).
-
Identifying the interconnections in systems and predicting how changes in one part of the system
will influence other parts.
