Pumping test design and analysis, water treatment systems and regulatory regimes.

Each module will make extensive use of the practical experience of the presenters together with case studies from around the world.

  • To understand the purpose of undertaking a pumping test, methods of analysis and the factors which control pumping test design.
  • To recognise the need for environmental protection and regulatory compliance as drivers for the development of a groundwater control strategy.

The course is aimed at hydrogeologists, engineering geologists and construction professionals and should be of interest to both graduates and Chartered Fellows looking to enhance their knowledge. The course would be relevant to contractors, consultants and regulators who require knowledge of groundwater control techniques.
