Due to its great success last year, this groundwater SHORT COURSE will be offered for a second time through the University of California, Davis. The course, entitled "Introduction to Applied Groundwater Hydrology: Principles, Measurements, and Interpretation" is provided specifically for technical management personnel employed by natural resources conservation districts, consulting companies, irrigation districts, water districts, local and state agencies, for farm advisors, and members of environmental groups and citizens alliances and other interested professionals with little or no background in groundwater hydrology. The intensive three-day SHORT COURSE will review the fundamental principles of groundwater occurrence, groundwater movement and recharge, groundwater quality and contaminants transport, and give an overview of the most common field and modeling tools for measuring and interpreting groundwater characteristics. This year, the course will be held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Sacramento on November 4-6, 1997. Fee is $375, which includes course material, lunches, coffee-breaks, and one dinner. Early enrollment is encouraged as space is limited.
