- Course Duration: Four Days (15-18/2/2010)
- Venue: Prince Faisal Center for Dead Sea Environmental and Energy Research, Mutah University, Karak, Jordan
- Announcement:
Prince Faisal Center for Dead Sea, Environmental and Energy Research
is pleased to announce the well-received short course on groundwater
modeling. The course is directed to interested
professionals in hydrogeology, water resources management,
civil engineers, environmental engineers, chemical engineers,
geologists and hydrologists who are engaged in investigation,
management, and protection of groundwater resources
- Course Format: Theory & Practical Exercises
- Learning Objectives: On the conclusion of this course, the participant should:
- Know how to create a groundwater model following the procedure of building a groundwater model: definition of model objectives, construction of hydrogeological conceptual models, design of numerical models, preparation of model inputs, model calibration and model application
- Become familiar with the most popular groundwater model codes: MODFLOW, PMPATH, MT3D and a graphical user interface PMWIN.
- Be able to apply groundwater models for evaluation of groundwater development scenarios, determination of capture zone of well fields and prediction of pollutant plume development.
- Topics:
- Purpose of groundwater modeling
- Conceptual model: conceptualization of aquifer-aquitard systems; specification of boundary conditions; hydrological stresses
- Design of numerical model: finite-difference solutions of flow problems; steady versus unsteady model; one layer versus multi-layer model; lay-out of grids; stress period/time steps
- Model inputs: initial conditions; boundary conditions; hydrogeological parameters; hydrological stresses
- Model calibration and validation: selection of model code; calibration procedures
- Model prediction: purpose of prediction; simulation of scenarios; determination of capture zones
- Introduction to PMWIN
- Introduction to MODFLOW
- Exercises and case study
- Who can attend? Interested Postgraduates and professionals in hydrogeology, water resources management, civil engineers, environmental engineers, chemical engineers, geologists and hydrologists who are engaged in investigation, management, and protection of groundwater resources
