Disciplines

Covering first principles and applications for the water sciences

The International Water Training Institute focusses on the four key disciplines of surface water hydrology, surface water hydraulics, groundwater, and water quality. Click below to view the available resources in each of these disciplines.

Surface Water Hydrology

Learn the essential principles of precipitation, losses, stochastic hydrology, and rainfall-runoff relationships

Surface Water Hydraulics

Conduct 1D, 2D, and 3D analyses of open-channel flow, hydraulic structures, erosion, and sedimentation

Groundwater

Explore the underlying principles of hydrogeology with groundwater flow, aquifer recharge, drawdown, and extraction 

Water Quality

Analyse water chemistry, model contaminant transport, and explore treatment techniques for surface and subsurface water

In addition to the key water resources disciplines above, we also offer training and applications for tools that span all of the individual disciplines:

GIS for Water Resources

Create spatial maps for flood inundation extents, catchment boundaries, flow paths, well/bore locations, flood hazard designations, and more

Scripting for Water Resources

Automate repetitive tasks, undertake data wrangling, perform sophisticated time series and spatial analyses, and create visualisations
