Workshop SM5.
Simulation of groundwater and surface water systems: Practical theory and applications
Sunday, 8 September, 2019
Instructor: Larry M. Deschaine, PhD, P.Eng
Summary
This practical course will cover the methods and approaches for simulating groundwater and surface water systems using computer models.
The modeling tools and techniques discussed in this workshop will help both the manager and analyst by discussing how to develop physically consistent and robust analyses using computer models that simulate groundwater and surface water systems, how to review them for completeness and consistency, how to use them for supporting decisions, and how to get the analysis accepted by the stakeholders.
Who should attend?
This course is targeted to environmental and water supply consultants, managers, site owners, and regulators involved with complex environmental or water supply decisions which models will be used to facilitate decisions which depend on stakeholder interaction will benefit from this course. Prior knowledge of computer modeling is not required.
