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
Organised by SYMPLE SRL.

Time series modeling of Groundwater levels with Pastas
Groundwater time series analysis using impulse response functions, with hands-on exercises using the open-source Python package Pastas. The term aquifer derives from the Latin aqua ferre, meaning “to carry water”. Embedded in this definition is the concept of movement, and therefore of time. Groundwater systems can be seen as living systems, continuously responding to external solicitations such as recharge, evapotranspiration, pumping, and surface water interactions. Groundwater level time series represent the integrated signal of these stresses, filtered by the physical properties of the aquifer. Today, large amounts of monitoring data are routinely collected through automated measurements, yet a significant portion of these datasets remains largely unused. Groundwater levels are recorded, archived, and reported, but often not analysed in a way that extracts the information contained in the signal itself. This represents a loss of precious knowledge, essential for informed groundwater management.
Time series analysis provides a framework to study aquifer response without requiring a complete physical description of the subsurface. Through a data-driven approach, the observed signal can be decomposed into the contributions of different processes controlling groundwater dynamics, quantify response times, and support management decisions. For a more detailed overview, see: Bakker and Schaars (2019). In many cases, attempts to reproduce complex realities through highly detailed physically based models may lead to over-complex numerical models with limited predictive capability, whereas time series models focus directly on reproducing and interpreting observable system behaviour.
This workshop introduces groundwater time series analysis using impulse response functions, with hands-on exercises using the open-source Python package Pastas. Participants will learn how to use Pastas to describe and predict groundwater level fluctuations.Price: 300-600euro

MENA Earth Systems Sciences Congress (MESC)
Earth Science, GeoScience. The MENA Earth Systems Sciences Congress (MESC) is dedicated to the examination of natural resources, considering their geological settings, types, origins, and spatial-temporal distributions through collaborative efforts and innovation. The congress will further address both the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainable development initiatives. Serving as a forum for scientists, policymakers, industry professionals, and community stakeholders from across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the MESC facilitates the exchange of ideas, dissemination of knowledge, and collaboration on sustainable solutions. Key topics to be explored include climate change mitigation, resource management, seismotectonic zones, biodiversity conservation, disaster resilience, and practices promoting sustainable development. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in substantive discussions, review case studies, and develop practical strategies to optimize the utilization of available natural resources within the MENA region and adjacent areas.
Price: €200 - €450 for early payment (November 2025)
