Course Overview

Groundwater Contamination certification course is an extensive five-week program describing the principles of transport in aquifers. This is done so that engineers can foresee and plan safe extraction of groundwater for public and private use. The Groundwater Contamination certification syllabus covers essential topics such as methods to solve the differential advection-dispersion equation. These two-dimensional schemes treat aquifers as planes from a top view, and various examples of well and landfill contamination for a practical approach.

Purdue University’s offering, the Groundwater Contamination by edX will help you learn how different contaminants move through aquifers, and methods to model contaminant plumes from a landfill or other sources. You will also learn how to tackle real-world problems by applying transport models to different scenarios.

Additionally, Groundwater Contamination training gives you a verified certificate upon purchase once you complete the program. You can use it to build a strong professional portfolio and display your gained skills and knowledge. Course-takers can also share it on professional networking platforms such as LinkedIn.
