Verification and preliminary processing of hydrogeological data 1300-SP-WODHC
The aim of the exercises is:
- to use analysis in a GIS environment to verify the location of a research point and to assess the reliability of the research done;
- to introduce students to the use of spreadsheets to quickly review and manage large data sets;
- to use simple statistical methods to detect outliers;
- introduce students to the rules of quality control of hydrochemical data according to the QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) protocol;
- presentation, by various methods, of the results of water chemistry determinations and their interpretation in relation to the applicable legislation.
