QGIS essentials for groundwater: mapping and modelling - Live Training

View More Live Training

About

Focusing on an Australian river catchment as a case study, you will learn how load and import data into a QGIS project, process, interpolate and create layers from groundwater data and develop groundwater level maps from borehole data and DEM.

The course will consist of 3 live and interactive 2-hour sessions, across three consecutive weeks. There is also pre and post course materials to develop and solidify your learning.

Don't miss the opportunity to have your questions answered live.

This course, designed for the beginner and will be highly practical, with x3, 2-hour training sessions.

Using data preparation, analysis and mapping you will build a project step-by-step with your presenters using QGIS and other tools. You will then run, animate, interpret and troubleshoot your project and create an informative map.

Course Outline:

The course will cover 3 main topics across three sessions;

Session 1: Adding groundwater data to a QGIS project

Load data from online sources into QGIS
Import CSV files
Save data and styling to a GeoPackage
Save a QGIS project to a GeoPackage

Session 2: Process groundwater data in QGIS

Reproject layers
Select features by expression
Export selected features
Create buffers
Dissolve features
Intersect layers
Clip layers
Use the Point Sampling Tool
Join attributes and make them permanent

Session 3: Create a groundwater level map for borehole data and a DEM

Calculate the density of the boreholes in a polygon
Download the SRTM 1-Arc Second DEM
Clip and reproject a DEM
Style a DEM
Sample elevation at the borehole location and compare it with the elevation attribute
Make corrections and calculations in the attribute table
Interpolate groundwater levels of the boreholes to a raster
