Groundwater Modeling for Lawyers
Program Description
This unique and timely program will educate you on many important aspects of groundwater modeling as they relate to the practice of water law. Our expert presenters will teach you about the role of the hydrogeologist, and defining the hyrdogeologic setting. Then you will learn about fundamentals of groundwater modeling, choosing the appropriate model, and setting up the operating model framework. Our faculty will also focus on assessing the accuracy of computer models, including issues such as convergence, calibration, sensitivity, verification, and adequacy of the underlying data. Legal issues, including evidentiary standards, will then be discussed. Finally, you will hear from our panel of experts about specific groundwater modeling problems, including selection of solver, thinly saturated aquifers, ET, drains, and mass balance override. Don't miss this unique technical program in your area of practice.
