Advanced Groundwater Modeling Course (Professional) using GMS

 
  This will involve the following as implemented in GMS:
       (1) Finite difference method and MODFLOW
       (2) Advective transport analysis and MODPATH
       (3) Finite element method and FEMWATER
       (4) Solute transport simulations using FEMWATER
       (5) Designing and implementing sensitivity studies
       (6) Assumptions and limitations inherent in Models
       (7) Conceptual model and grid-based approaches to using GMS
