HYDRUS short course: Modeling Water Flow and Contaminant Transport in Soils and Groundwater Using the HYDRUS Computer Software Packages

Colorado School of Mines
Golden Colorado, United States
25 - 27 June 2018

Deadlines Abstract submission: The abstract submission deadline has passed Registration: Registration is now closed Official website http://igwmc.mines.edu/short course/hydrus.html Meeting contact igwmc@mines.edu

The short course is organized by the Integrated Groundwater Modeling Center (IGWMC) at Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Co. The instructor of the short course is Dr. Jirka Šimůnek, Dept. of Environmental Sciences, University of California, Riverside (CA).

"Hands-on" computer sessions will provide participants an opportunity to become familiar with the Windows-based HYDRUS-1D and HYDRUS (2D/3D) computer software packages, including several additional modules, such as ROSETTA and HP1. Emphasis will be on the preparation of input data for a variety of applications, including flow and transport in a vadose zone, variably-saturated flow and transport during irrigation, and two-dimensional leachate migration from a landfill through the unsaturated zone into groundwater. Calibration will be discussed and demonstrated by means of a one-dimensional inverse problem. Selected advanced HYDRUS topics will be covered during the second part of the course (e.g., colloid and colloid-facilitated transport, preferential flow, multicomponent transport, constructed wetlands).
