Groundwater in the coastal zone: two-day course

During IAHR 2015 Deltares will organize a two-day course on groundwater in the coastal zone. The course will provide participants with (1) principles and procedures of variable density groundwater flow and coupled solute transport, (2) salinisation of groundwater systems and fresh-saline groundwater flow phenomena in the coastal zone, (3) monitoring techniques for fresh-brackish-saline water systems and (4) modelling experiences through hands-on training in computer workshops.

 

Course leaders are Dr Gualbert Oude Essink and Dr Perry de Louw, both hydrogeologists at Deltares.

Costs: € 100 per participant

Dates: Thursday 25 and Friday 26 June 2015

Target group: Water consultants in Hydro(geo)logy, PhD students and medium to senior experts at water boards, provinces or nature organizations

The course will provide participants with (1) principles and procedures of variable density groundwater flow and coupled solute transport, (2) salinisation of groundwater systems and fresh-saline groundwater flow phenomena in the coastal zone, (3) monitoring techniques for fresh-brackish-saline water systems and (4) modelling experiences through hands-on training in computer workshops. On completion of this course the participants are able to understand, quantify and monitor groundwater flow processes in the coastal zone and to construct some (relatively simple) models on variable density groundwater flow and coupled salt transport.
