HydroVision offers professional training on topics related to hydrogeology. These topics include:

  • Hydrogeology
  • Vadose Zone Hydrology
  • Groundwater Hydraulics
  • Geophysics
  • Fractured-Rock Hydrogeology
  • Field Sampling Methods

Training seminars presented by HydroVision include:

"Hydrogeology Applicable to Today's Field Challenges in Porous and Fractured Rocks" - HydroVision presented a 3-day seminar addressing hydrogeologic principles related to groundwater flow through porous and fractured rocks. Topics included, but were not limited to, the concepts of hydrogeologic parameters, analytical methods used to characterize hydrogeologic environments, and field applications for solving project-related problems.

Report and Presentation on Fractured Bedrock Hydrogeology - HydroVision was contracted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, to create a report and presentation about fractured-rock hydrogeology to educate the technical staff at the Savannah District office. A 4-day presentation was organized to include, but was not limited to, the following topics: basic principles of fractured rocks, hydrogeologic parameters related to fractured rocks, differences between applications for fractured and porous rocks, and analytical methods for characterizing hydrogeologic parameters for fractured rocks.

Aquifer Tests and Slug Tests- HydroVision presented a 1.5-day seminar on methods and techniques for performing and evaluating aquifer tests. Topics included:

  • Physical Properties of Aquifers;
  • Solution of Flow Equations for Boundary Conditions of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Confined, Unconfined, and Leaky Aquifers;
  • Slug Tests; and
  • Aquifer Test Design.

"Hydrogeology of Crystalline and Carbonate Fractured Rock Environments" - HydroVision presented a 2-day seminar on the structure and evaluation of fractured-rock environments. Topics included:

  • Concepts of Fractured Rocks;
  • Fluid Flow in Heterogeneous Environments;
  • Solution of the Flow Equation for Heterogeneous Aquifer Systems;
  • Double Porosity Models, Including Pseudosteady-State and Transient Flow;
  • Type Curve and Derivative Curve Analysis;
  • Continuity and Interconnectivity Tests; and
  • Designing Aquifer Tests in Fractured Rocks.
