A rigorous introduction to groundwater science and management.
Program - AGS & Field Trip Adelaide 2019 (PDF)
Groundwater makes up about 17% of Australia’s accessible water resources, and up to 30% of our water consumption in certain regions. Droughts and climate change place pressure on our critical groundwater reserves; therefore, it is important that Australia has a well-informed workforce that is ready to tackle these challenges.
WHY IS THE COURSE IMPORTANT?
The Australian Groundwater School is vital for Australian professionals working with groundwater. Our flagship course, and the premier course of its type in Australasia, the Australian Groundwater School provides participants with a broad but rigorous introduction to groundwater.
Introducing hydrogeology, assessment methods, modelling, managed aquifer recharge, management, governance and more, the course truly encompasses the fundamentals of groundwater. We have expanded our Australian Groundwater School in Adelaide to include a one-day field trip – bringing the course to a full five days of groundwater learning. Delegates will have the opportunity to get out of the classroom and put theory into practice, visiting field sites. Read a short history on the Australian Groundwater School 1962 - 2008
