Course Aim: This course aims to provide students with a general introduction in the field of Petroleum and Coal Geology. Students will be made aware about the understanding, investigation and exploitation of these natural resources; develop their understanding on the occurrence of different types of fossil fuel deposits in Ethiopia and the world. Students will be taught about the basic knowledge on the nature, composition and maturation of coals and oils, and develop skills on the technological applications in the exploration of hydrocarbon resources.

- Course Aim/Rationale:
The amount of groundwater stored in an aquifer at any instant of time depends on the dynamic
relationship between recharge inputs, through the overlying land surface and from rivers, and
outflow to surface waters and pumped abstraction. Aquifer storage provides a buffer between
highly variable, climatically-driven recharge processes, and the less variable outflow that
supports surface water ecology. The abstraction of groundwater for human use, and some kinds of
land-use changes, alters the dynamic balance between “natural” recharge and the state of surface
waters. The groundwater resource management objective is to determine the regime of
abstraction that results in acceptable environmental effects. This course aims at enhancing
student’s skills and knowledge of tools, methods, and approaches used in groundwater resources
management.
