Undressing MODFLOW
Groundwater Modeling. This short course focuses on how to understand and modify MODFLOW 6 input and output files. The course will also touch on files that are read/written by other members of the MODFLOW family (MODFLOW-USG and MODFLOW 2005).
Why should you care about the contents of MODFLOW input and output files?
- Firstly, programs that write MODFLOW input files for you (such as graphical user interfaces and FloPy) sometimes either make mistakes, or do not understand your intentions. In the end, the only way that you can be sure that MODFLOW is receiving the information that you want to provide to it is to check these input files yourself. Also, if MODFLOW is behaving strangely and you are not sure why, the answer will probably be found in the data that it is being given. The only way to be sure of what data it is being given is to scrutinize its input files.
- Secondly, what if you need to provide some inputs to MODFLOW, and/or process some MODFLOW outputs, in ways that your GUI or other software does not support? You need to know MODFLOW’s input and output protocols to do this. All of these protocols are well-documented. This gives you the freedom to do whatever is best for you.
- Then there is PEST/PEST++. These can be used for history-matching and uncertainty quantification of a MODFLOW model, as well as for other tasks such as management optimization (under uncertainty). Members of the PEST/PEST++ suites interact with MODFLOW through MODFLOW’s input and output files. If you want to understand what these programs are doing, or create PEST-to-MODFLOW interactions that enhance history-matching and uncertainty analysis for your specific problem, then you need to understand MODFLOW input and output files.
The course is run by John Doherty (author of PEST) and involves three sessions of three-hour duration. These sessions would be interactive so that you can ask as many questions as you like and additional meetings can be arranged if more time is required.Price: 350

LUWQ2025 Conference
Landuse and Water Quality Conference. LuWQ2025 – International Conference on LAND USE and WATER QUALITY: Agriculture and the Environment
LuWQ20125 is an interdisciplinary conference on the cutting edge of science, management and policy to minimise effects of agriculture and land use changes on the quality of groundwater and surface waters. The conference aims to discuss the entire ’policy cycle’ to enable enhancing the quality of the water environment, which includes problem recognition, formulation of technical options, policy formulation, interaction between policy makers and stakeholders (i.e. pressure groups), policy implementation, monitoring and research. The key strength of the conference is twofold. On the one hand, LuWQ has a well-defined narrow focus on ‘agriculture and water quality’. On the other hand, the conference is broadly oriented with regard to the various professional disciplines related to the conference topics. Based on the experience from previous Land use and Water Quality editions, it is the diversity in professional background of participants which results in a multi-faceted conference program. Consequently, LUWQ offers sessions on a broad variety of topics, all of them however dedicated exclusively to agriculture and water quality.
The objectives are:
- to provide a forum for exchange of scientific knowledge, research to better understand ’systems function’, modelling and uncertainty;
- to discuss the entire policy cycle for water quality improvement; and
- to intensify contacts (a) between soil/water related scientists, agro related scientists, social scientists, ecological scientists and economists, and (b) between scientists, water managers and policy makers.
The conference themes and topics are characterised by the following keywords: water management, water policy, hydrology, aquatic ecosystems, terrestrial ecosystems, unsaturated zone, groundwater, surface waters, drinking water, monitoring, modelling, water quality, nutrients, pesticides and other organic agrochemicals, heavy metals, agronomy, agro-economics, agro-sociology,.
Conference is jointly convened by:
• RIVM, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, the Netherlands
• DCE - Danish Centre for Environment and Energy, Aarhus University, Denmark
• Department of Ecoscience, Aarhus University, Denmark
• Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), Denmark

10-14 Jun 2025 – University of Corsica, Corte, France
University of Pisa Summer School – Integrated Water Monitoring Assessment Across Time and Scale: Groundwater-Wetland Ecosystem Interactions.
Wetlands and Groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are important natural systems that contribute to ecological and human well-being through the provisioning of ecosystem services such as supporting biodiversity, providing base flows to rivers, water purification, water supply and recreational opportunities. The Mediterranean basin hosts numerous inland and coastal GDE. However – despite their uniqueness – they are increasingly subject to anthropogenic pressures, resulting in degradation of their natural properties. These threats include both shortlived processes (e.g. over pumping and contamination) and long-term ones (e.g. climate change) and require sound scientific knowledge to implement sustainable protection measures. For this reason, the Summer School will cover different topics necessary to better asses the intricate relationships between the geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere, for a comprehensive characterization of GDEs.
The school will take place in Corsica, a unique place for testing integrated approaches, characterized by the presence of a multi-composite geological and hydroclimatic context, giving origin to various GDEs.
The Summer School is jointly organised by the University of Pisa (UNIPI, Italy) and the University of Corsica Pascal Paoli (UCPP, Corsica, France).
It is chaired by Prof. Viviana Re and Dr. Maria di Rosa (UNIPI), Prof. Sebastien Santoni and Dr. Thomas Leydier (UNICPP), with the help of Dr. Stefano Viaroli (UNIPI), Dr. Emilie Garel, Prof. Frederic Huneau, Prof. Vanina Pasqualini and with the support of the University of Corsica Pascal Paoli.
Students will be hosted at the University of Corsica, Corte, France.
IMPORTANT DEADLINES:
1 February 2025: application deadline for the request of the scholarship
10 February 2025: notification of the awarding of the scholarship
1 March 2025: general application deadline.Price: €750

The 7th PAAI- 8th APCAMM Joint Meeting on Groundwater Management
Resilient Coastal Aquifer Management in Tropical Regions: Adapting to Climate Change and Urbanization. Join us for a landmark event bringing together leading voices in groundwater research, management, and policy across the Asia-Pacific! Coastal regions, home to 40% of the global population, are under increasing pressure from climate change and rapid urbanization. In our region, these stresses—rising sea levels, extreme weather, and human impacts—are placing freshwater resources at risk and challenging progress toward clean water and sanitation goals. To address these pressing concerns, the Asia-Pacific Coastal Aquifer Management Meeting (APCAMM) and the Perhimpunan Ahli Airtanah Indonesia/Indonesian Groundwater Experts Association (PAAI) will host a joint conference from August 4–7, 2025, in Bandung, West Java Indonesia.
The event will feature pre-conference workshops, oral and poster presentations, and a field excursion to the Jakarta coast to observe land subsidence and coastal hydrogeology in action.
While the main theme is coastal groundwater, we warmly welcome presentations on all topics related to groundwater. This conference offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and shape sustainable, resilient approaches to groundwater management in a rapidly changing world. Don’t miss this chance to connect, share, and contribute to the future of groundwater in the Asia-Pacific!.Price: USD100-200
