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.

X Curso de modelación hidrogeológica
In Spanish: modelación hidrogeológica, teórica y práctica con software gratuito. Este curso intensivo ofrece una formación integral en modelación hidrogeológica, combinando fundamentos teóricos con un enfoque eminentemente práctico mediante el uso de herramientas numéricas y software gratuito de referencia (MODFLOW, MODPATH, MT3D, SUTRA, VS2DTI y PhreeQC). Comienza con una introducción a la modelación numérica del flujo y al entorno ModelMuse. Además, se incorpora el uso de MODFLOW mediante Python (FloPy), proporcionando una primera aproximación a flujos de trabajo automatizados y reproducibles. También se estudiará la modelación del transporte de solutos, el transporte con densidad variable, el flujo en zona no saturada y la modelación hidrogeoquímica.
Price: 300 € for IAH members
Organised by Spanish Chapter IAH.

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)
