Join the Aquanty team for a 3-day intensive course which explores the complete integrated hydrologic modelling process using HydroGeoSphere (HGS). This course consists of various lectures and exercises to explore topics such as the benefits of integrated hydrologic modelling, the governing equations that control flow in an HGS model, model mesh generation and results visualization, numerical solution techniques and model convergence troubleshooting, atmospheric & winter processes, model calibration and more.

Attendees of this course will receive a temporary license of HydroGeoSphere (30-day), a temporary license of AlgoMesh (2-week), a copy of all course content including lectures (PDF) and exercises, and the opportunity to network with other HydroGeoSphere users and the software development team. In addition, attendees of the training course will be eligible for a 10% discount on the purchase of their first HydroGeoSphere software license (eligible within 12-months of the training session).

  • Registration fee: $1,200 USD (50% discount for students)

  • Location: Online & in-person at Aquanty’s office (600 Weber St. N., Unit B, Waterloo, ON N2K1K4)

  • Date/Time: October 8-10th, from 9am - 5pm EST daily

  • NOTE: a minimum of 5 attendees are required for this event to take place. If the minimum attendance requirement is not met a full refund will be issued for cancellation.
