In the next table you'll find some examples of courses in the program

	Groundwater Hydrology Analysis of water flow processes and dissolved matter transport in groundwater, with emphasis on the physical and chemical base of the processes. The course deals with the hydrological cycle, aquifers structure, hydraulic properties of a porous system, diffusion and dispersion processes, mathematical equations that define the water flow and the dissolved matter transport, hydraulics of wells and drilling, pumping tests and the evaluation of groundwater potential. The course also deals with actual questions: how do sea water penetrate coastal aquifers? How water pollution processes occur? can aquifers be restored? How over-exploitation of water resources causes water salination? And how can we plan an optimal and sustainable water production from groundwater?
	Surface Water Hydrology Getting to know the relationship between rainfall, the flow in slopes and in channels, and floods generation. Analysis of precipitation processes including rain intensities and their spatial spread, and statistical analysis of rain characteristics. The understanding of the process that create runoff includes assessing the recharge to aquifers, depending on the features of land and the rock underneath. Analysis of flow in channels is based on the characterization of flow (turbulent, super/sub-critical) and on energy balances. The course will also include the use in computer models to analyze rain events, flows in watersheds and  recharge evaluations - all of them are used in forecasting and assessment.
	Field Methods in Groundwater Hydrology the hydrological research requires a wide field work, including: maps analysis, drillings, installation of pumping systems and implementation of pumping tests. As part of the field work, the hydrologist is required to use new and sophisticated remote sensing methods of such as geophysical methods (geoelectrical, seismic) or geochemical and isotopic analyzes of water. The course includes field tours.
	Field Methods in Surface Hydrology The following methods and measuring instruments that relate to the field of surface hydrology will be taught: infiltration estimation via precipitation experiment, stream measurment in channels, sediments transport estimation. The course consists of tours, measurements and field experiments.
	Water Resources in Israel Recognition of the natural and artificial water sources in Israel, water production and treatment technologies and issues related to water resources management. Understanding the hydrogeological structure of the mountain and coastal aquifers, their water balances and pollution and salinization problems they suffer from. Assessment of flood flow rates in rivers and their reservoirs plants. Assessment of supply and demand for water in Israel, and the development of the water crisis. recognition of wastewater treatment systems and seawater desalination, and how Israel is dealing with the water crisis. Getting to know the water resources in neighboring countries, water conflicts and their regulation.
	Developing Models for Environmental Systems The course provides theoretical and practical knowledge in developing models for environmental systems (especially hydrological), and includes: defining and characterizing different models, the stages of model development, calibration methods, optimization and verification of the model, sensitivity tests and uncertainty analysis. Using GIS analyses in spatial and numerical models. The course includes assigments and a personal final project.
	Irrigation with Reclaimed water and its Environmental implications A new and unique course at the Hebrew University deals with the environmental and agricultural aspects of sewage water, their characterization and use for irrigation. Key Topics are covered: Water resource and method of treatment; Quality measures and ways to improve the quality of treated sewage water; Health aspects, organizations and regulators of irrigation with wastewater; The effect of water quality on soils and crops; Technological aspects of the use of treated sewage water; Future directions of change in the characteristics of the sewage water and their implications on the way they are used and possible impacts on agriculture and the environment.
	Hydrological Modeling of Groundwater Digital modeling is now an important tool in research of processes related to groundwater and water resources management. The course provides students the knowledge and experience of how to use a digital model and understand its implications. The course deals with the theoretical background of flow and transport equations and their implementation in physical problem-solving model.
