Groundwater

Measuring, mapping, and assessing groundwater distribution and movement in soil and rock is key to the health of humans, livestock, agriculture, and groundwater-dependent ecosystems

Our training options and resources cover the first principles of groundwater hydrology and applications for monitoring and simulating subsurface flow, including drawdown and recharge from wells or bores

Training Options

Scheduled Online Training

Our Groundwater Essentials training series launches in March 2023, including four fundamental courses covering the governing equations of groundwater flow and analytic and numerical methods for groundwater modelling. Courses include worked examples and supporting materials covering groundwater monitoring and mapping, determination of drawdown and recharge rates, and other essential elements of hydrogeology.

Courses are delivered in partnership with the International Water Association and the Australian Water School. Join the live sessions or complete at your own pace with session recordings. Register below or submit an expressions of interest to receive course updates.
