Events & Courses

The UK Groundwater Modellers’ Forum is holding its 13th workshop on new issues and applications in groundwater modelling in the UK.

The Groundwater Modellers’ Forum was established following the realisation of the need for bringing together the different scientific communities to enhance the understanding of groundwater modelling and all its interdependent aspects. It also aimed at establishing better links between such communities to enable sharing of knowledge and experience. Over the years, the Forum has proved beneficial to many through establishment of useful contacts and through providing the opportunity to share one’s own experience with others.

This year’s workshop explores the role of groundwater modelling in the urban environment, in particular the understanding of, and managing issues related, to:

1. Contaminant transport
2. Water resources and groundwater control measures
3. Groundwater flooding

During the morning session, keynote speakers will introduce these topics by outlining current modelling approaches and issues, as well as through the presentation of recent case studies. These topics will be further explored during the afternoon session which will consist of:

• The Modellers’ Fair – Back after the 1st Fair in 2014, and now improved, to showcase new approaches in urban groundwater modelling and
• A group-based decision making game to stimulate discussions and build on the topics presented in the morning.
