COURSE: Aquifer Testing For Improved Hydrogeologic Site Characterization
COURSE: Aquifer Testing For Improved Hydrogeologic Site Characterization
SKU
Midwest Geo Course
SOLD OUT. Registration for this course is now closed.
Date and Location: September 19-21, 2023 | Fort Collins, CO
Overview:
Conducting aquifer tests in complex hydrogeologic settings such as heterogeneous or fractured media often leads to suspicious data or unanswered questions after the field work is complete. Even when you’re confident of the geologic conditions, you may have difficulty designing effective aquifer tests, running field equipment or selecting the best available model to analyze the test data. This course is a powerful three-day training workshop on aquifer testing design, field methods, and data analysis techniques featuring AQTESOLV and the In-Situ Level TROLL. It will help you master aquifer testing from beginning to end, using world-class field equipment and aquifer test analysis software.
Who Should Attend:
This course is designed for groundwater scientists and engineers, project managers, compliance program managers and remedial design managers.
What To Expect:
This course begins with a brief overview of hydrogeologic principles of pumping and slug testing then continues at an advanced level to cover the range of conditions typically encountered during field investigations. Day three of the course will include field data collection and equipment training followed by an analysis lab using AQTESOLV in the afternoon. Data analysis exercises include both simple and advanced pumping and slug test analyses to match the range of conditions typically encountered during field investigations.
An upgraded color notebook and an optional Course Completion Certificate from Colorado School of Mines are available for a fee.
