2013 William A. McEllhiney Distinguished Lecture Series in Water Well Technology — Groundwater Spreadsheets: Efficient and Practical Resource for Solving Simple and Complex Flow, Pollution, and Environmental Problems

Presented on Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Attend Carlos E. Molano’s lecture and discover how you can use spreadsheets—in simple form without any programming or complex mathematics—to solve a wide range of groundwater problems. Whether you’re a water well contractor, groundwater scientist, administrator, consultant, ecologist, environmental engineer, water resource planner, or student, you will benefit from learning how to apply “classic” hydrogeology concepts to “modern” hydrogeology concepts such as climate change, global warming, ecohydrology, sustainability, environmental risk assessment, and remediation, through the use of the spreadsheets presented. While various groundwater applications are presented mainly for Latin America (from pre-Columbus and pre-Inca times to current times where very often there is a lack of data and other resources), they can also be used all over the world to learn how some cost-effective solutions may be applied for many other situations. (The McEllhiney Lecture Series is made possible by a grant from Franklin Electric.)
