Non-saturated medium : main flow direction with an impermeable level.
Saturated medium.
Chapter 5: Methods and models to simulate the groundwater flow in rock masses. Introduction.
Basic elements of a modeling approach.
Darcy's Model.
Discrete models.
Dual porosity models.
Chapter 6: Case histories. Groundwater flow and slope stability.
Evaluation of the hydro geological risk ltunneling tunnelling.
hydrogeological risk linked with the road construction.
