The Tucson Chapter of the Arizona Hydrological Society (AHS) is pleased to announce an 8-hour workshop to be presented by Glenn M. Duffield of HydroSOLVE, Inc. at the AHS Annual Symposium in Tucson, Arizona.

Date:  Wednesday, September 1, 2010
Time: 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m.
Location:  Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa, Tucson, Arizona
Course Fee: $350 for 8-hour workshop

This course addresses advanced techniques for aquifer test analysis and interpretation. Click here for full course outline.

Attendees will benefit by learning derivative analysis, a powerful diagnostic tool which has received little attention from groundwater scientists in the interpretation of pumping test data, as well as the Argawal method of recovery analysis which applies the same diagnostic principles and type curves used for drawdown analysis in the interpretation of recovery data.  Several hours of the workshop are devoted to hands-on exercises demonstrating these advanced methods, case histories from Arizona test data, and  strategies for handling insensitive parameters and parameter correlation during estimation of aquifer properties (See attached course outline).

AHS is pleased to be able to offer the workshop at a significantly reduced rate of $350. Click here to register

Fundraising for AHS

All profits generated by the workshop will go to support the Leonard Halpenny Intern-Scholarship of the Tucson Chapter of AHS.  The Intern-Scholarship is open to graduate and undergraduate students in the fields of hydrology, geology, civil, environmental and geologic engineering, renewable natural resources, wastewater management, soil and water science, and other hydrology-related studies.  The award provides an opportunity to gain practical experience at multiple hydrological work environments in Tucson, and carries an annual stipend of $3,000, which is generated through fundraising efforts such as this workshop.
