Description
Course Description
This course will introduce you to the methods commonly used to model groundwater flow and solute transport in the subsurface. The course focused on applications of hydrogeological modeling methods to examine important flow and transport processes by using Visual Modflow Flex. This course will provide you with a comprehensive background in modeling of groundwater flow and solute transport in the subsurface. The primary objective of the course is to provide you with sufficient training in the fundamental theory and application of groundwater modeling to be able to develop the skill sets required to address basic environmental problems that are commonly addressed via groundwater flow and solute transport modeling.
