Waterra CPD Training Workshops
|
Since 1991 Waterra have provided professional training in the use of groundwater equipment to individuals and companies throughout the
UK and Ireland. Using this experience and our in-house hydrogeological and technical expertise we have developed a series of 1 day training courses and ½ day seminars to providing practical, up to date and economical guidance and training in groundwater monitoring. Courses are fully endorsed by the Geological Society for CPD purposes.

Our courses are highly practical and economical with emphasis on good field practice for groundwater sampling and water level measurements using dataloggers. You will leave with a better appreciation of a range of equipment, how it works and how to use it. We will offer good advice and share our knowledge to help you get the best out of your equipment and time. We aim to bring you up to date with changes in guidance and include topical insights into R&D. We don't just offer one solution.
Our 1 day training courses are all based at Beckets Farm Conference Centre located in Birmingham. ½ day Seminars are presented at various locations around the UK and Ireland, and can be delivered to large groups in your own office environment on request.
Course outlines are provided below.

Groundwater Sampling Low Flow and Passive (no-purge) Groundwater Sampling Methods 
The requirements of the Water Framework Directive have given a new emphasis to the need for groundwater quality monitoring, and
for obtaining reliable and reproducible data. This workshop will help to broaden your understanding and gain a hands on appreciation
of the range of equipment now available for different sampling methods, including 3 well volume purging, low flow (or "micro-purge")
and passive sampling. It will also familiarise you with the up to date R&D including the concept of flow-weighted averaging and the
problems associated with mixing in boreholes.
Some comments from delegates on our previous courses ....
"Great to have hands-on session with the equipment' "Good group size allowed tailoring to needs" "The theory of water movement in boreholes was very useful. The level of experience and knowledge of the presenters was excellent compared to other courses provided by consultants!" More Information |

Groundwater Levels and Data Loggers Accuracy and Good Field Practice 
The requirements of the Water Framework Directive have given a new emphasis to the need for groundwater level monitoring, and for
obtaining reliable data. This workshop will help to maximise the efficiency of your monitoring programmes and improve the accuracy
of your measurements.
1 Day Programme (1/2 day seminars exclude Workshop Sessions)
"...very useful and practical training for anyone involved with digital groundwater monitoring......"
"Knowing the limits of accuracy in water level measurements is hugely important - particularly if you need to defend your data in a public forum. This workshop, originally developed for the IGI, will teach you to respect water level measurements and also significantly improve your field skills in the use of data loggers of any type ........." "Brilliant day ... clear, well explained and interesting ... surprised as an experience user at what I learnt" "I had a really enjoyable day and found it incredibly useful, so thank you very much!"
