Course overview
The Wells Hydraulics programme is a five-week online certification that begins with a description of steady flow to wells. The notion of steady flow and radial coordinates to wells in unconfined and confined aquifers is introduced. Finite difference methods for modelling flow to wells are also explained in this programme.
The Wells Hydraulics certification course by edX introduces slug tests and their analysis. After slug and well tests, topics such as well fields and issues of dewatering are studied. You will review the superposition principle and issues of domain boundaries before dewatering examples. It also covers the use of semi-automated and graphical methods to calculate aquifer properties from well tests.
You will continue to learn about well fields concerning injection and extraction wells, with an example of an in-situ remediation design and a pump and treat design. Lastly, you will learn through an exemplar well model in MODFLOW. Moreover, the Wells Hydraulics online training gives you a verified certificate upon successful completion. You can share it to display your advanced skill set and knowledge.
