Streams, springs, pipelines, aquifers, wells, wetlands, and reservoirs all compose pieces of a vast water resource puzzle. Understanding the condition of these resources on the ground through data becomes critical due to their vital importance to all life on Earth. Data collection and data analysis are essential skills needed to understand and manage any body of water. But not just any data, you need accurate and efficient data that contributes to your organization's goals.
The fundamentals taught in this course will pave the way for developing and completing your data acquisition projects, from idea to presentation, by using leading and emerging technologies to search, acquire, analyze, and use proprietary and 3rd party data.
This course will focus on water resources, but the technical information can apply to any resource with the goal of having every attendee confident in their ability to go into the field to collect and interpret ground information accurately for their water organization.
