The course is aimed at intermediate to advanced level professionals specialising in groundwater characterisation and management. This course is to help professionals design and perform effective aquifer testing programs for both environmental site characterisation (hydrogeologic, geotechnical and remediation applications) and water resources assessment (well yield, mine dewatering and sustainability testing). From basic hydraulics to comprehensive data analysis, the course addresses the practical aspects to test design, field techniques and data analysis for both slug tests and pumping tests.

* Glenn Duffield is the author of AQTESOLV a widely used aquifer test analysis software package (and one of the presenters of the Fractured Rock Hydrogeology course).
* James Butler is a Hydrogeologist at the Kansas Geological Survey, 2007 NGWA Darcy Lecturer, and Author of "The Design, Performance, and Analysis of Slug Tests", Lewis Publishers.
* Dan Kelleher is president of Midwest Geosciences Group and a Hydrogeologist with decades of practical and research experience in hydrogeological site characterisation for environmental and engineering projects
