Water Level Measurements and Techniques for Pumping Tests:
AQUIFER TESTING ONLINE COURSE, MODULE 3
Discover and learn the most up-to-date information
about aquifer pumping test techniques from some of the most
recognized authorities in ground water.
Pre-Course Tutorial and Study Materials:
Registrants dive into the course experience with study materials and a self-assessment. The personalized experience allows each registrant to learn (1) at their own experience level, (2) at their own pace, and (3) and in a private setting except when they have questions or request extra tutorials.
Prelude to Module 3:
Registrants can prepare for Module 3 by reviewing the course slides coupled with thinking how past project performance relate to equipment requirements and outcome.
