Hydrogeology Bundle: Part 2 Groundwater Recharge Rate Estimation using 1D Unsaturated Numerical Model
Understanding groundwater recharge is essential for the successful management of water resources and modeling fluid and contaminant transport within the subsurface. Hydrogeologists, water-resource specialists, civil and agricultural engineers, earth and environmental scientists will benefit from this self paced online course.
After this course you are going to be able to set up monitoring network for soil moisture and potential and to model rainfall infiltration and its movement in deeper part of vadose zone where eventually it will become groundwater recharge - so you are going to be able to precisely determine groundwater recharge rate.
Course Topics:
What is soil texture and how to determine it quickly
In depth explanation of soil water content and soil water potential
Devices to measure volumetric water content and soil water potential
Instalation and maintaince of devices measuring volumetric water content and soil water potential
How to determine soil water retention curve - basis for getting unsaturated hydraulic parameters for numerical model
Getting unsaturated hydarulic parameters from soil retention curve
How to set up 1D numerical simulation of soil water movement including ol hydrological water balance elements
Groundwater recharge rate determination
Who should attend?
This course is ideally suited for hydrogeologists, environmental engineers and climate change experts who are diving into the use of groundwater numerical models to make informed decisions about water balance of the region and contaminant movement from ground surface to aquifers.
Prerequisite:
B.Sc in hydrogeology, geology, environmental engineering, agriculture, civil engineering
Time Commitment:
Average 2 - 3 hours per week to finish each Module. We encourage you to spend time with the course each week. Your focused attention will pay off in the end!
If anything seems unclear or you just have a question, then please let me know - I will get back to you as soon as possible, usually less then 24 hours. After each lecture you have place to ask questions. Again, thank you for joining me on this course.Price: 360 USD
