ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a series of virtual laboratory experiments designed to enhance the understanding of fundamental concepts in surface and subsurface hydrology. These experiments cover a broad range of topics, including flow over weirs, estimating the Manning coefficient from flume experiments, porosity of granular materials, specific yield, capillary rise, Darcy’s law, hydraulic conductivity tests, and aquifer pumping tests. Additionally, a tracer test experiment is included to monitor tracer movement and estimate dispersivity in porous media. Each experiment provides detailed instructions on setup, procedures, and example data sets, allowing students to analyze results and gain a deeper comprehension of hydrological concepts. The chapter also delves into the application of theoretical models such as the Theis and Thiem solutions in aquifer testing.
