A course dealing with geology, chemistry, and hydraulics of ground water. Designed mainly for majors but can be helpful to other disciplines where ground water is involved. Crystallography section is a study crystal structure, symmetry and crystal systems. Mineralogy section is devoted to the description, identification and classification of minerals based on their crystal forms, physical properties, chemical composition, and occurrence in nature. Must be taken concurrently with GEOL 2754.
