A rigorous introduction to groundwater science and management.
Program - AGS Sydney 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 refreshed the Australian Groundwater School by including a networking session and more tutorials. Read a short history on the Australian Groundwater School 1962 - 2008
