This course will demonstrate how the HydroGeoSines (HGS) package for Python can be used to obtain additional insights from existing groundwater hydrograph data.

The expert presenters are also the developers of the newly-developed HGS package and they will demonstrate how HGS and Python language allow an easy way to pre-process and interpret standard groundwater monitoring datasets. This includes the removal of barometric pressure and Earth tide effects while characterising aquifer types using Barometric Efficiency values and Barometric Response Functions. You will also gain insights into the software’s other features, including estimating aquifer properties such as hydraulic conductivity and specific storage from time series data alone.

– Identifying and quantifying Earth tide influences using Fourier analysis
– Interpreting aquifer confinement status from Earth tide influences

2. Traditional methods of interpreting groundwater responses to atmospheric influences
– Quantifying and comparing responses using a range of traditional methods
– Estimating barometric efficiency and aquifer specific storage values from measured responses

Part 3:

1. Advanced methods of quantifying the groundwater responses to tidal forces
– Identifying and quantifying tidal influences using harmonic least-squares

2. Advanced methods of interpreting the groundwater responses to Earth and atmospheric tides
