Dr Moumtaz Razack has over 35 years experience in higher education. With this experience, RGC offers training sessions in General Hydrogeology and Modeling. The training program can be adapted to the client's request. Broadlines are described below. Each course includes didactic presentations and practical hands-on exercices.

 

General Hydrogeology

• Aquifers & groundwater. Darcy’s law

• Groundwater flow & pollutants transport

• GW quality. Hydrochemistry & Isotopes

• Pumping tests & Tracers tests

• Methods of GW Recharge estimation

 

Modeling

Background theory of ground water modeling

• GW flow and transport equations

• Numerical methods to solve flow and transport equations

• Boundary conditions

• Hands on exercices to understand GW modeling

Modeling case studies

• Data analysis and design of appropriate conceptual model.

• Design of the numerical model:

• Selection of model grid

• Selection of proper boundary conditions in the model

• Model calibration in steady state and transient state.

• Inverse modeling using PEST. The Pilot Points approach.

• Model sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. Model validation

• Visualization of model results

 

Softwares
