Site Characterization: The Groundwater System (#501)

Page Content

Denver, Colorado • April 26, 2012

presented by William J. Stone, Ph.D.

Course description

This course covers data needs and sources, as well as presentation tools, for characterizing both the geologic framework and groundwater system, essential to characterizing, protecting, and cleaning up the environment. It also addresses synthesizing the relationship, especially recognizing important geologic controls of groundwater occurrence, movement, and quality, factors critical in formulating the sound conceptual hydrogeologic model regulators expect in reports.

In addition, you will receive Stone’s book, Hydrogeology in Practice: A Guide to Characterizing Ground-Water Systems, which serves as the reference for this course.

Course objectives

During this course, you will learn how to:

  • Recognize data needs, sources, and presentation tools for characterizing the geologic framework or hydrologic system of a groundwater/environmental project area
  • Apply these techniques to formulate a sound conceptual hydrogeologic model in a wide range of typical groundwater/environmental cases.

Who should attend?

  • Those involved with groundwater availability, monitoring, cleanup, or modeling projects
  • New hires in agencies, consulting companies, or the extractive industry.

Education level

Introductory to intermediate.

NGWA awards continuing education credits

This course is worth 0.75 CEUs.
