GIS-Based Modeling &
Data Management Using
Arc Hydro Groundwater

Course Description

This course will provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to use the Arc Hydro Groundwater data model and tools. You will learn how to build and customize an Arc Hydro Groundwater geodatabase, import data, produce maps of temporal data such as water levels and water quality, manage and visualize borehole data, build 3D hydrogeologic models inside ArcGIS including construction of 2D and 3D cross sections and volume models. MODFLOW Analyst tools for ArcGIS Desktop will also be covered. These tools are used to import, edit, visualize, and create workflows with MODFLOW models.

You will learn to use the latest tools available in Arc Hydro Groundwater. Come and learn how to be more effective!

Course Outline - 3 Days
