6 December 2024
Short meeting - your model results (please be prepered). 3 pm MS Teams (the same link like before).

12 December 2024
Short meeting - your model results (please be prepered). 2 pm MS Teams (the same link like before).

20 December 2024
Short meeting - continuation of the basic case study. 1 pm MS Teams (the same link like before).

10 January 2025
Individual report - submission.
The report should include:
Description of the problem, conceptual model, parameters and variables.
Results and their interpretation.
Sensitivity analysis – chose two or three parameters/variables and and show the calculation results for different values ​​of these variables/parameters (flow model + contamination transport model).
Conlusions.

Meetings at 12pm and 1pm MS Teams (the same link like before).

24 January 2025
