Good books:
Two very good book on hydrogeological topics can be downloaded free of charge from The Groundwater Project's site:
Woessner - Poeter: Hydrogeologic Properties of Earth Materials and Principles of Groundwater Flow

And here is the solution!
Exam checklist: modelling-tasks-to-successfully-pass-an-exam.pdf
In case of online exam: Declaration form for exam: declaration.docx
The declaration form is to be signed before the exam. It is needed due to the remote exam procedure to document and accept the rules. The signed sheet must be sent back in scanned form or just by copypasting the bodytext into an e-mail sent me back to processing.modflow@gmail.com from your own e-mail adress!
