Surface and Groundwater courses from THE ACADEMY by DHI

STANDARD TRAINING COURSES

SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER Water a precious and nite resource

SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER

The ACADEMY by DHI provides training courses in topics

related to surface water and groundwater management

such as integrated catchment management, integrated

water resources management and water resources analysis

and decision making. We also provide training in using our

software tools for water resources to improve the

environment.

Solving water and environmental problems requires the

integration of various aspects such as groundwater and

surface water, water quantity and quality, environmental and

socioeconomic aspects.

Growing populations may cause water quality to deteriorate.

As such, the problems and challenges related to the

sustainable use of water resources are likely to increase

manifold, as the demand for good quality water for people,

agriculture and industry can be an environmental threat.

In this this three-day, thematic course we aim to enable you to address suitable holistic integrated catchment management. The course focusses on the challenges of surface water and groundwater resources management at catchment scale, as well as managing competing uses and environmental impacts. Catchment hydrology and its implications on water management is discussed. Decision support tools and modelling tools are introduced through examples and project cases. Hands-on exercises are not included.

Water resources are under increasing stress from growing populations, intensification of agriculture, and climate change.

Catchment management is vital to water use permitting, setting allocation limits, defining permissible loads and environmental impacts, and making water sharing strategies. To achieve holistic integrated catchment management, water managers and planners must address groundwater and surface water interaction as well as the impact of land use and climate change on water resources.

This one-day course provides you with valuable insight into the rapidly evolving remote sensing technology based on dozens of earth observation satellites in orbit at the moment. You will learn how remote sensing information is becoming much more accessible and how it can easily be integrated into MIKE Powered by DHI or GIS software.

The lack of reliable data to calibrate and validate models is often a challenge, especially in ungauged catchments or remote parts of the world. This can often be overcome using remote sensing information input.

Satellite images provide valuable information across time and space, about flood events, oil spills, algae blooms, deforestation and other environmental issues. Satellites can be used to generate baseline conditions, up-to-date maps of land cover and urban development, and images can provide information about current conditions.

COURSE TOPICS

Introduction to remote sensing and digital image processing

Data types, sensors and satellites, data prices and availability

Data pre-processing (radiometric and geometric calibration)

Remote sensing of water resources

Remote sensing of urban environments

Remote sensing of coastal and marine environments

Image classification and change detection

Digital Elevation Models from satellite

Hands-on exercises accessing and using satellite images

This three-day thematic course teaches you how to analyse, formulate, and implement water policies, plans and programmes using an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approach. The course focuses on tools to implement IWRM the enabling environment, institutional roles and management instruments. The aim of the course is to enhance your ability to undertake IWRM with special reference to catchment (watershed, river basin) management and ecosystems.

Within management instruments the emphasis is on the MIKE Powered by DHI modelling tools for building decision support systems (eg MIKE INFO, MIKE OPERATIONS, MIKE HYDRO). The requirements related to climate change, vulnerability and risk management are considered and international cases studies and lessons are drawn upon.

IWRM is a coordinated approach to land and water resources management at international (transboundary), national and at local scales. The global use of water for households, industries and irrigation is growing and to meet the needs there is a demand for better understanding of water resources and for sharing water more efficiently among different groups of users.

COURSE TOPICS

IWRM and Climate Change, concepts and approaches (GWP ToolBox)

IWRM implementation aspects

Management tools, models and their application

Information and decision support systems

River basin, transboundary water management and modelling

Climate change and adaptation options

Assessment Matrix (RIAM)

How to take the principles from IWRM into the MIKE modelling tools for building

decision support systems (eg MIKE INFO, MIKE OPERATIONS, MIKE HYDRO)

Demonstration and use of Aqua Republica a serious game for the promotion

of participatory water resources management

IWRM, ecosystem approaches and environmental flows


Water resource professionals including water managers, water resource

engineers, hydrologists, hydro-geologists and water resource modellers.

Participants are expected to have previous experience with water management

and/or hydrology.

In this this one-day, thematic course we aim to provide you with an overview of integrated solutions available to allow you to address disaster risk management with respect to floods. How can you make a difference in preparing and subsequently manage floods.

Disasters are of concern for almost all countries and are growing in terms of people affected and economic losses. A majority of all disasters today are related to hydro-meteorological factors, with floods (inland and coastal) as the main factor causing disasters. A changing climate will increase the risks for many regions.

In recent years several floods have resulted in severe damage and health problems due to lack of timely and coordinated communication and lack of preparedness of local government and support services. The missing integration of knowledge and dissemination of information causes greater damage and hence costs.

COURSE TOPICS

What is disaster risk management

Prevention and mitigation of floods

Improving preparedness

Prediction and warning,

Response in form of flood maps and dissemination of information to the public

Presentation of integrated solutions for flood risk management

Examples of local/regional/international cases

Legislative framework (optional and depending on the office)


Managers and professionals involved in flood management and flood risk

management. It is preferable but no condition that participants have previous

experience with water management, hydrology and models.
