Course explores hydrogeological principles of groundwater (June 15, 2011)

(WESTERVILLE, OH — June 15, 2011) A course examining the concepts, theories, and procedures in hydrogeology will be conducted by the National Ground Water Association on September 12-14 in Columbus, Ohio.

A range of issues will be discussed including movement and occurrence of groundwater, transmissivity, hydraulic head and gradient, aquifer test procedures and analysis, water-quality characterization, solute transport, plume configuration and delineation, capture zone analysis, groundwater modeling, and remediation techniques.

The curriculum has been strengthened to include more discussion on the principles and practice of groundwater remediation for hydrogeological site investigations. In-class exercises present and reinforce practical application of various mathematical formulae describing flow to wells. The course format consists of theoretical lectures, practical discussions, and hands-on exercises.

This course is best suited to:

Those wanting to advance their knowledge of groundwater
Persons seeking a refresher course on the principles of groundwater
Professionals in other disciplines wanting to broaden their knowledge base in groundwater.

The instructors are:

Scott Bair, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Geological Sciences, Ohio State University, teaching water resources, hydrogeology, hydrogeologic field methods, and numerical modeling
Thomas Naymik, Ph.D., a senior consultant with GeoSyntec Consultants Inc. in Columbus, Ohio.
