The UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP) and the Groundwater Management Institute of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) will conduct a 3-day training program on groundwater modeling and data management for SADC Countries representatives, on March 20th-22nd 2017, in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The training program is targeted to hydro(geo)logists, environmental scientists, and engineers from SADC Countries national institutions (e.g., Department of Water Affairs, Universities) and independent experts nominated by SADC Countries.
The aim of the training program is to build capacity of SADC Countries experts in groundwater modeling, including analysis of ground- and surface-water interaction.
Within the training course, Rudy Rossetto and Giovanna De Filippis (Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna) will present modules integrated in the FREEWAT platform for water resource management, through theoretical lectures and practical exercises.
The training program will also include a module on data management on the UNESCO Water Information Network System (WINS).
