Introduction to Applied Groundwater Flow Modeling with GW Vistas

Trainers: Daniel Feinstein, Randy Hunt, Francesca Lotti

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.
The trainers staff includes Daniel Feinstein (ex USGS) and Rundy Hunt (USGS, co-author of the second edition of the book "Applied Groundwater Modeling - Simulation of Flow and Advective Transport").
