Course Details

Introduction:
Conducting aquifer tests in complex hydrogeologic settings such as heterogeneous or fractured media often leads to suspect data or unanswered questions after the field work is complete. Even when you are confident of the geologic conditions, you may have difficulty designing effective aquifer tests, running field equipment, or selecting the best available model to analyze the test data. Where can you turn to improve your approach and skills for hydrogeologic site characterization?
Midwest GeoSciences Group and Aquatic Life, Ltd can help! We have designed a powerful two-day training course on aquifer testing design, field methods, and data analysis techniques featuring AQTESOLV and the In-Situ Level TROLL. This course will provide you with the knowledge to master aquifer testing from beginning to end–using world-class field equipment and aquifer test analysis software.
Bring Your Computer: Analyze data from a variety of hydrogeologic conditions and well configurations using AQTESOLV. Participants are welcomed to bring their own project data for analysis for QA/QC by the instructors.
Course Topics:
Hydrogeologic Site Characterization

Learn to design the most effective aquifer test programs for a wide range of geologic conditions (including low permeability confining units and fractured bedrock)
Gain an advantage in your next aquifer test by mastering state-of-the-art field and data analysis procedures
Find out how to differentiate laterally extensive sands from isolated sand bodies in a single boring
Discover new techniques for anticipating and resolving problems that may arise in aquifer tests
Obtain step-by-step instruction for field screening using the In-Situ Level TROLL and computerized analysis using AQTESOLV

Slug Testing:

Learn to select and apply appropriate slug test models for different hydrogeologic settings and well configurations
Maximize results from tests conducted in wells screened across the water table
Find out how to recognize and account for the effects of noninstantaneous (noisy) test initiation and wellbore skin
Discover the latest strategies for designing, conducting and analyzing tests in high-K media including oscillatory responses
Gain knowledge of new approaches for decreasing test duration in low-K media
Master all aspects of data collection with the In-Situ Level TROLL
Obtain hands-on experience with AQTESOLV analyzing data from a wide range of geologic settings

Pumping Tests:

Learn to design, conduct and analyze pumping tests in confined, leaky, unconfined and fractured aquifers
Master strategies for dealing with variable pumping rates, wellbore storage, partial penetration, well losses, wellbore skin and other common issues
Discover powerful diagnostic methods including derivative analysis that help you select appropriate pumping test models
Gain an advantage by applying Agarwal’s method for analysis of recovery data
Find out the best procedures for monitoring a pumping test with the Level TROLL
Master tips and tricks for using AQTESOLV to analyze constant-rate, step-drawdown and recovery test

ESAA is pleased to report that the 8th Annual WaterTech Symposium, held in April 2015 was a huge success! Building on that success, we are announcing WaterTech 2016 — the premier water technology transfer event for environmental professionals. Attendance at the eighth WaterTech exceeded all expectations, with a waiting list for both delegates and exhibitors. WaterTech 2016 is highly recommended for all industry sectors that have an interest in the technical aspects of water and wastewater management.
Since 2002, ESAA has hosted the incredibly successful RemTech Symposium each October in Banff. Delegate & exhibitor numbers, as well as sponsorship support, increased steadily, causing RemTech to outgrow its original venue after three years. Owing to the ongoing space limitations at RemTech, ESAA has not been able to profile water technology to the level it deserves and delegates want.
WaterTech gives us the opportunity to focus on a relevant and growing area of interest in the environmental sector.
Who Should Attend?
Attendance at WaterTech 2016 is highly recommended for all industry sectors that have a interest in the technical aspects of water and wastewater management including:
Agriculture Companies, Municipalities, Engineering Firms, Drilling Companies, Pipeline Companies, Natural Gas Producers, Energy Marketers, Environmental Consulting Firms, Land Developers, Governmental/Regulatory Bodies, Aboriginal Groups, Oil and Gas Service Companies, Law Firms, Financiers, Mining Companies, Waste Brokers and Managers, etc…
About the Host
Established in 1987, the Environmental Services Association of Alberta (ESAA) is one of Canada’s leading business associations with close to 250 member companies. Dedicated to building a strong environmental industry, ESAA is an industry association with a business approach in providing programs that lead to its members’ corporate success. Visit our website for more information: www.esaa.org.
Symposium Program

The two-day technical program will consist of a minimum of 40 platform presentations grouped into sessions chaired by environmental professionals.
The program will be developed from abstracts collected from across North America. A full listing of abstracts and presenter biographies will be available in the near future.
Some areas and case studies being covered in the presentations will include:
Water Resources and Water Quality, Groundwater-Surface Water Interaction, Groundwater and Surface Water Management, Watershed Modelling, Planning, and Management, Data Collection, Monitoring, and Testing, Ecohydrology, Protection and Sustainable Management of Water Resources, Emerging Contaminants, Disaster Planning, Facility Operations, Industrial Issues, and Technologies, Industrial and Municipal Wastewater Treatment, Coal-bed Methane Development, Deep Well Injection, Beneficial Uses of Produced Water, Water Conservation and Re-use, Integrated Research, Nanotechnology Applications, Regulatory Issues, Including Saline versus Non-Saline Water
In addition to the detailed technical program, WaterTech 2016 will also include various networking sessions, keynote speakers and a welcoming reception.
