12 Mar - 24 Apr 2026 – Vetralla (VT), Italy
Introduction to Applied Groundwater Flow Modeling with GW Vistas
Groundwater Modeling. The training course Introduction to Applied Groundwater Flow Modeling will take place at the SYMPLE
school in Vetralla, Italy, with the option of participating online. The course is divided into three parts:
the first is theoretical and entirely conducted online, the second part is a blend of online and on-site
attendance, emphasizing practical applications of MODFLOW models. A final session, focused on a
pumping test analysis and a dewatering project, will commence on-site and continue online later on.
The course will cover essential practical criteria necessary for constructing a numerical flow model.
This includes topics like defining parameters, boundary conditions and inputs, both in stationary and
transient conditions. Practical applications using MODFLOW packages will be demonstrated through
explanatory lectures and computer exercises facilitated by the proprietary GUI Groundwater Vistas 8.
Each participant will have access to Groundwater Vistas for a duration of 2 months.
To ensure accessibility and flexibility, all course sessions, whether conducted online or on-site, will be
recorded. These recordings will be uploaded to our e-learning platform, allowing participants to
review the material at their convenience.Price: 800 euro
