Surface water hydraulics
Our training in Surface water hydraulics provides you with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of open channel or pressure flow, including the depth, velocity, flood hazard, and capacity of flowing water to move sediment for sustainable water management.
Surface water hydrology
Our training in Surface water hydrology provides you with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of the study of the natural flow and distribution of surface water in space and time.
Groundwater
Unearth our training on groundwater to acquire the skills and knowledge to sustainably manage and conserve water resources.
Modelling general knowledge
Our training in Water Modelling provides you with the knowledge and skills to effectively analyse and manage water resources using a wide range of water modelling techniques and software.
Python
Our Python training offers a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals and advanced concepts of Python programming, equipping learners with the skills they need for water modelling and data analysis. With hands-on courses and expert guidance, you will gain practical experience to become proficient with Python.
HEC-RAS
HEC-RAS is a widely used hydraulic modelling software developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Our training in HEC-RAS will provide water professionals with the knowledge and skills to simulate river flows, assess flood risks, and design hydraulic structures.
MODFLOW
MODFLOW is the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) modular hydrologic model. Our training in MODFLOW along with the Python interface, FloPy provides in-depth knowledge and practical skills for simulating and predicting groundwater conditions. You will learn how to simulate models enabling you to gain hands-on experience in creating and analysing hydrogeological systems.
QGIS
QGIS is a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) software that allows you to visualise, analyse, and manage geospatial data. Our training in QGIS offers hands-on experience and practical exercises to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed for hydrological analysis using QGIS tools and plugins for water modelling.
TUFLOW
TUFLOW is a software package used for flood modelling, and stormwater management. Our training in TUFLOW provides you with a hands-on experience in simulating water flow, assessing flood risks, and analysing water quality for accurate and reliable water modelling.
HEC-HMS
Developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, HEC-HMS is a hydrological modelling software tool. Our training in HEC-HM offers comprehensive hands-on experience in gaining expertise in simulating rainfall-runoff processes, predicting streamflow, and analysing hydrological behaviour in river basins.
RORB
RORB is a general runoff and streamflow routing program used to calculate flood hydrographs from rainfall and other channel inputs. Our training in RORB provides you with the knowledge and skills to effectively use RORB for hydrological modelling. Through interactive sessions and practical exercises, you will learn from experts in designing retarding basins, routing floods through channel networks, and producing runoff hydrographs.
Water quality
Our training on Water Quality will give you a comprehensive learning experience in monitoring, assessing, and improving water resources in urban and rural environments.
ARR
Developed by Engineers Australia, ARR (Australian Rainfall and Runoff) is a national guideline for estimating design flood characteristics in Australia. Our training in ARR training offers an in-depth understanding of applying these guidelines to gain knowledge and skills in infrastructure design and flood management.
