Live Online GIS for Hydrogeological Applications Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Groundwater is a vital source of drinking and irrigation water, yet poorly sited boreholes and unchecked abstraction waste money and deplete aquifers. Spatial analysis helps hydrogeologists see patterns that scattered borehole logs cannot reveal on their own. You begin with managing hydrogeological spatial data: borehole databases, geological maps, well logs, yield and water quality records. Groundwater mapping sessions interpolate water levels with kriging and IDW, contour piezometric surfaces and map flow directions and depth to water.
Aquifer and watershed days delineate catchments from DEMs, map aquifer extent and characteristics, identify recharge zones and assess vulnerability to contamination. Remote sensing sessions derive lineaments, land cover, soil moisture and vegetation indicators, and show how AI and multi-criteria analysis combine them into groundwater potential maps. The final day links GIS outputs to groundwater models and produces clear technical maps and reports. Hydrogeologists, water engineers, geologists, water resource officers and drilling consultants will find it practical. You will be able to support borehole siting, aquifer assessment and groundwater management with defensible spatial evidence that regulators, funders and drilling teams can rely on.

About this course
This training provides practical knowledge on GIS for Hydrogeological Applications through real spatial analysis and groundwater assessment activities. Participants will explore groundwater mapping, hydrogeological databases, aquifer analysis, watershed assessment, and spatial modeling techniques. The course also introduces AI-supported tools, remote sensing applications, and predictive analysis methods for hydrogeological activities. Participants will learn how to interpret hydrogeological information and improve groundwater management through practical applications. The training combines technical skills with practical exercises that support informed water resource planning and monitoring activities.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how GIS for hydrogeological applications is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for aquifer characterization, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
Training Objectives
This course equips participants with practical knowledge and skills for applying GIS techniques within hydrogeological studies and groundwater management activities. It also enables participants to use spatial analysis and AI-supported approaches for better decision-making and project implementation.
