Advanced Aquifer Testing Techniques Featuring
AQTESOLV: New Concepts, Field
Methods and Data Analysis Procedures
(February 27 through March 1, 2007)
Conducting pumping tests and slug tests in complex hydrogeologic
settings such as heterogeneous or fractured media is a key element to
site characterization, water resources assessment and remediation system
design; however, poorly planned aquifer testing programs often lead to
suspect data or unanswered questions after the field work is complete.
Even when you are confident of the geologic conditions, you may have
difficulty designing effective tests, running field equipment or
selecting the best available model to analyze the test data. We have
designed this powerful three-day course on aquifer testing design, field
methods and data analysis techniques featuring
AQTESOLV. This course will provide you with the knowledge to
master aquifer tests from beginning to end.
