Groundwater Field Course in Kappelen
This is a course consisting of a three days field trip to Kappelen (BE) and a lab day at ETH Hönggerberg.
You will plan and perform groundwater field experiments, learn to use technical equipment yourself and how to work in the field in contrary to the lab. Methods learned in the lectures of Groundwater I and II will be applied on your own data. Individual interpretation of the field data during the course and writing a report accordingly are the challenges as well as defying the natural conditions present.

- Vertical profiles of temperature and electrical conductivity and flow direction
- Time series of water table fluctuations and groundwater recharge
- Soil moisture measurements
