Greetings!

You and your colleagues are cordially invited to attend an exciting
three-day continuing education workshop on aquifer testing methods and
data analysis techniques featuring AQTESOLV at the University of San
Diego in San Diego, California, USA on February 27 through March 1, 2007.

For this course, we are privileged to have Dr. Shlomo P. Neuman from
the University of Arizona join us as a special guest lecturer. He will
discuss his important contributions to the pumping test literature
including the Neuman-Witherspoon (1972) ratio method and the Neuman
(1972; 1974; 1975) method for unconfined aquifers with delayed gravity
response.

Dr. Jim Butler, the 2007 NGWA Darcy Lecturer, will be with us again to
present cutting-edge concepts for designing, conducting and analyzing
slug tests. In addition, Glenn M. Duffield, the developer of AQTESOLV,
will lead hands-on classroom sessions in the computerized analysis of
field data with the AQTESOLV software.

We offer the only courses that feature hands-on computerized data
analysis with AQTESOLV, the world's leading software for the analysis
of aquifer tests (http://www.aqtesolv.com/).

WORKSHOP TITLE:
Advanced Aquifer Testing Procedures Featuring AQTESOLV: New Concepts,
Field Methods and Data Analysis Procedures

WHERE:
Manchester Executive Center at the University of San Diego in San
Diego, California, USA

WHEN:
February 27 through March 1, 2007 (3 Days)

PRESENTED BY:
Midwest Geosciences Group

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS:
2.4 CEUs by University of San Diego

CEUs pre-approved for MA LSPs, CT LEPs, TX CAPMs, IA CGWPs, OK USTCs,
DE PGs

COURSE SYNOPSIS:
Conducting pumping tests and slug tests in complex hydrogeologic
settings such as heterogeneous or fractured media is a key element to
site characterization, water resources assessment and remediation
system design; however, poorly planned aquifer testing programs often
lead 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 tests, running field equipment
or selecting the best available model to analyze the test data. When
can you turn to improve your approach and skills for aquifer testing?

Midwest GeoSciences Group can help! We have designed a powerful
three-day course on aquifer testing design, field methods and data
analysis techniques featuring AQTESOLV. This course will provide you
with the knowledge to master pumping tests and slug tests from
beginning to end. Gain an advantage by learning up-to-date methods and
procedures for designing, conducting and analyzing aquifer tests.

For complete course details, please visit the Midwest GeoSciences web
site at http://www.midwestgeo.com/.

INSTRUCTORS:
Jim Butler, Ph.D., Kansas Geological Survey and author of "The Design,
Performance, and Analysis of Slug Tests"

Glenn M. Duffield, president of HydroSOLVE, Inc. and author of AQTESOLV

Shlomo P. Neuman, Ph.D., University of Arizona and author of numerous
important contributions to the analysis of pumping tests

As our special guest lecturer for this course, Dr. Neuman will bring
his unique perspective on state-of-the-art methods for the analysis of
pumping tests in unconfined and multiaquifer systems. He will discuss
his landmark contributions to the literature on the estimation of
aquitard properties using the Neuman-Witherspoon (1972) ratio method
and his recent ground-breaking work on the role of 3D
saturated/unsaturated flow in the analysis of unconfined aquifers.

Sir,

I wish to establish a realtionship betwwen crop yield and water
balance parameter like rainfall, rainy day, rainy season duration, dry

deficit, moisture index etc.
i had worked out the simple correlation but a multiple regression
equation is to be developed. therfore , kindly suggest me that which
factors i can combined and how a curvilinear relationship ca be
developed. i had SPSS12 also.

The lack of data may render any estimate to nothing better than a guess.
That said, perhaps Parrault's method would serve your needs.

Pierre Parrault (1608-1680) estimated that 1/6 of the rainfall appeared as
stream flow. The method by which Parrault calculated the runoff was simple
and generally correct theoretically.  Parrault first estimated the rainfall
in the Seine River watershed above Paris on an annualized basis.  He then
estimated the river flow volume for the same period.  By dividing rainfall
by stream flow, Parrault concluded that 1/6 of the rainfall equaled the
stream flow volume.

Subject: Runoff estimation in ungauged catchment


Hi
I am currently crrying out water management studies in a hard rock
watershed (1000 sq.km) in Tamil Nadu and needs to compute the non-
committed surplus runoff available for my studies. As there are no
gauging stations, I have to use empirical methods for runoff
computation. I've computed the monsoon rainfall for the raingauge
stations using Theissen Polygon method and was planning to use
Strang's tables for runoff estimation. However, one of my polygons
have normal rainfall > 1000 mm. (hilly area, mostly) and I find that
Strang's Tables are available only upt 600 mm rainfall. Can anybody
tell me whether it is proper to extrapolate the curves graphically
using the available data ? If not, what other methods could I use?
Curve Number method is out of question as I don't have enough data
for that!

Recently I came across a software namely 'WADI' by ENEX Corporation,
which has a subroutine for runoff estimation. However, I am not able
to find any information or user manual of the program ( for the
theoritical background of the equations used etc.)anywhere. Any
suggestions.

Thanking you in advance

Hello everybody,

I am making a simulation in Visual
Modflow with seawat package. In my model, there is a
constant top boundary in a box and convection occurs
due to concentration gradient from top to bottom. The
question is that why 2 convective plumes (like in the
ELDER problem) form near the walls of the box instead
of 1 convective plume in the middle of the box? Thank

Dear Friend

Atleast you need Evaporation data along with Monthly Discharge data for the
rough estimation of the Discharge. However using more precise tools like SMAR
(Soil Moister Acounting and Routing Model) You need daily Rainfall, Daily
evaporation and atleast one year's discjharge data to calibrate the model. The
physiographic parameters for better assessment of run off along with Rainfall &
evaporation data are Catchment area, its hypsometric curve, Snow cover area if
any , permanent snowline elevation, Maximum and Minimum temperature of at least
two stations.

TRAINING COURSE ON WATERSHED HYDROLOGY AND MANAGEMENT

(DECEMBER 11 - 15, 2006)

To be organized by National Institute of Hydrology, Jal Vigyan Bhawan, Roorkee -
247 667, Uttaranchal, India

Introduction

Land is the major non-renewable and inelastic natural resource. Due to the
ever-increasing population, there is a lot of pressure on the land from the
agricultural, industrial and housing sectors. On the other hand, the land is
subjected to soil erosion and land degradation problem due to flood, wind and
faulty cultivation practices resulting in loss of topsoil. This leads to poor
yields, uneconomic returns, reservoir sedimentation and reduction in storage
capacity, reduction in ayacut area, shutdown of hydel power stations, ecological
imbalance, environmental pollution, droughts and floods. This demands prudent
management of natural resources specially conservation, management and
development of soil, water, attached plants and animals in a complex and dynamic
combination of factors like geology, hydrology, topography, soil, micro climate
and community of plants and animals which continuously interact under the
influence of climate. Ever since Independence, India's planners and policy
makers have shown concern for efficient use of land, water and other natural
resources for accelerated and sustainable development. However, notwithstanding
these concerns, the problems of land degradation and ground water depletion have
assumed serious proportions in many areas, which threaten not only the
sustainability of agriculture, but also the overall livelihood system of the
people. Various approaches have been advocated and experimented to halt the
process of degradation of these resources. Watershed approach, of late has been
considered appropriate to reduce the face of degradation and accelerate the
process of development and conservation of land, water and vegetations in an
integrated manner.

A watershed is an area from which all water drains to a common point, making it
an attractive hydrologic unit for technical efforts to manage water and soil
resources for production and conservation. Watershed management is defined as a
rational utilization of land and water resources for optimum and sustained
production with minimum hazards to natural resources. It essentially relates to
soil and water conservation which means proper land use, protecting lands
against all kinds of deterioration, building and maintaining soil fertility,
conserving water for farm use, proper management of water drainage, flood
protection, sediment reduction and increasing productivity. Planning for
watershed development and management requires a comprehensive approach and a
thorough knowledge of physical, social and economic ingredients of watershed
entity. Physical ingredients of a watershed include rainfall, topography,
texture and structure of soil, size, shape and cover of watershed, which are
responsible for generating runoff and sediment.

A large number of watershed management projects are being implemented by various
departments and agencies of central and state governments, universities, R & D
institutions, and the non-government organizations (NGOs) under various
Centrally Sponsored Schemes, Externally Aided Schemes, State Sponsored Schemes
and the schemes funded by other agencies. Keeping this in view, the National
Institute of Hydrology is organizing a five-day training workshop on 'Watershed
Hydrology and Management'. The training workshop is intended to focus on major
aspects associated with watershed hydrology and management e.g. hydrological
processes, surface and sub-surface hydrological aspects, remote sensing and GIS
applications in watershed planning, hydrological modeling and evolving suitable
soil & water conservation and management practices. The course will be useful
for watershed planners, managers and field engineers in evolving the watershed
management plans for judicious use of natural resources.

Course Contents

Broadly, following topics shall be covered in the training course:

* Watershed unit and watershed processes
* Watershed instrumentation and measurements
* Watershed soils
* Geo-hydrology of watersheds
* Application of remote sensing and GIS tools
* Estimation of runoff and soil loss from small watersheds
* Modeling runoff and sediment yield in a watershed
* Hydrological and erosion processes in a watershed
* Engineering measures for erosion control
* Agronomic measures in soil and water conservation
* Water conservation and harvesting
* Drought management in watersheds
* Experimental, bench mark and representative watersheds
* Forested watersheds
* Participatory approach in watershed management
* Watershed management plans
* Monitoring and evaluation of watershed management projects

The Course will consist of lectures by scientists of the Institute and invited
faculty. A number of tutorials and computer sessions on computation of runoff
and soil erosion, design of erosion control structures etc. will be held during
the workshop. A field trip will also be organized to a nearby watershed project
around Roorkee.

Participants

The course is intended for middle and senior level officers and field engineers
of Project Implementing Departments/ Agencies in the State Governments,
technical institutions, NGOs and other related departments. The number of
trainees is limited to 25 only. The registration shall be done on the first come
first served basis.

The easiest method would be the constant discharge method baseflow
Separation. Although it's an easy method to apply one could argue that
the baseflow will continue to decrease beyond the start of the flood
runnoff, to the time when the flood runoff is maximum. So it's easy to
argue with the conceptual basis of the method.

Dear Rakesh
   Hello

   You can use Excell and draw a straight line or inclined line with the slope
starts from the initial point of rising limb and finishes at the end of falling
limb(beginning of recession part). The slope can be determined using dividing
the difference of two consecutive aforesaid discharges into the No. of time
steps.

Hi,

I am looking for information about GIS hydrology modeling.
Beeing more specific, i need some information about the relation
between increasing the number of subcatchments in the watershed
representation and the overall response of the basin.
I would guess that this would cause the model to increase estimates of
runoff volume and peak flow. But if anyone's got any information about
my query please answer back.

Thanks,

Regards,

A. Heimrich
