Groundwater
Groundwater Contamination
The video begins with a brief explanation of the sources and causes of groundwater contamination, including point, line and dispersed sources of contamination. Subsequently, a conceptual groundwater contamination model is presented, alongside a section on how contaminants are transported in aquifers. The mechanisms responsible for mechanical dispersion of contaminants are also presented. Finally, the author emphasises the importance of safe and responsible disposal of chemicals and other contaminants.

Groundwater Appearance
This lecture discusses the characteristics of groundwater in geological structures. An overview of the water cycle and basic information about groundwater is presented at the beginning of the video. Subsequently, the author defines aquifers and distinguishes between confined and unconfined aquifers. Lastly, the video examines the various techniques employed by experts to track and observe groundwater.

Water4cities: Holistic Surface Water and Groundwater Management for Sustainable Cities
The video begins by discussing the challenges faced in current urban water management. It subsequently showcases technological solutions, or enablers, which could ease water management and highlights two case studies. The author then outlines some of the challenges associated with smart water solutions, including hurdles in data collection and more. She presents the Water4Cities goals, its high-level architecture, stakeholders, and potential areas of conflict among stakeholders. The two case studies, Skiathos Island and the city of Ljubljana, are also briefly introduced.

Smart Water Management for Cities
This video provides an overview of the Smart Water Management for Cities project. The author starts by presenting the two case studies, the island of Skiathos and the city of Ljubljana. The first one focuses on water demand, while the latter focuses on water use in Ljubljana urban area. The presentation proceeds with an explanation of the infrastructure used for data collection, enabling predictions of groundwater changes. The second part of the video delivers an overview of the implemented data analysis.
