Groundwater Sampling Tools and Techniques
Groundwater Sampling Techniques. What tools and methods can you use to meet the monitoring objectives of your groundwater program? What challenges could you face with different sampling methods? Does your methodology produce representative samples? What tools are available to measure water level, quality and flow?
In these one-day workshops, you’ll get answers to these questions and learn about the benefits and limitations of different groundwater sampling techniques and monitoring equipment. At the end of the first workshop (offered on 4 June and 5 June) you'll know how to apply these insights in your sampling applications. The second workshop (5 June) focuses on continuous monitoring programs, covering both level and quality instrumentation, as well as recommendations for telemetry usage.
Attendees can choose to participate for either one or two days. Those who opt for both days will receive a 20% discount.Price: £400

Characterising Groundwater Resources (GEOSM402)
Groundwater resources. Groundwater is a vital resource in many regions of the world for sustaining populations and groundwater-dependent ecosystems. This micro-credential focuses on techniques for quantifying and utilizing groundwater resources.
The course is designed for people who have undergraduate-level scientific literacy and numeracy skills as well as some knowledge of groundwater systems.
Topics covered include conceptual model development, using flow equations in groundwater systems, an introduction to drilling technology, production wells and aquifer testing.Price: $AUD1,188 inc. GST
Organised by University of Western Australia.

Calculation method for nitrates loads in rivers – the remainder approach
Nitrates loads assessment in rivers using remainder technique. Work contributed to the "The World's Water - our secret Nitrogen engine" (textbook, 1st Ed. UK/compilation, Taylor & Francis 2026) is here excerpted with the permission of the authors, who share an engineering workaround for load estimation of nitrates in rivers and streams. The work was inspired by aquifer transport of nitrates in mining groundwater, when a report submitted by consultants to the Melbourne City Council, required load estimates for the Yarra.
The course offers a simple and quick workaround for otherwise complicated equations, using a technique produced in a cross-university study for a core curriculum textbook. Course will be held in the meeting rooms at Royal Randwick, Belmore Rd - near the junction of High St UNSW Campus and the racecourse. In event of unforeseen circumstances, the course will be held in online mode, at the reduced rate of $200 pp.Price: 1200 pp (attendance mode only)
