About

Take sessions anytime, at your own pace with unlimited course access for 30 days on registration.

FloPy is a powerful and versatile Python library to create MODFLOW models and process their output. MODFLOW 6 is the latest member of the family of codes, and script-based models created with FloPy and MODFLOW 6 is emerging as a new industry standard.

In this course we will introduce beginners to script-based numerical modelling with MODFLOW 6. It will provide you with a set of ready-to-use Python notebooks with FloPy code that can be adapted for other flow problems.

Course feedback

“A comprehensive course, and it was great to be stretched with additional resources highlighted to call upon. Enjoyed the course very much, and feel knowledge taken away will be practically very useful in our real-life working environment.”

“I want to congratulate the instructors on this fantastic course. The content and pace was perfect!”
