The Hydrogeology and Industrial Risks program is intended in particular for students interested in the environment, and more particularly in water resources (groundwater) and their protection against pollution from industrial activities.
As an expert in groundwater and its functioning, the hydrogeological engineer's mission is to ensure the security of water supply by discovering new reserves and protecting water catchments.
This course also trains you to diagnose environmental risks linked to industrial activity or waste storage, as well as to methods of site clean-up.
This course is based on visits to industrial sites and the creation of a concrete case study.
