About this programme
Groundwater is a critical resource for agriculture, industry, ecosystems, and domestic water supply. However, increasing demand, climate variability, and unsustainable extraction practices have intensified the need for advanced tools to monitor, predict, and manage groundwater resources effectively. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful solution for analyzing complex hydrogeological data, forecasting groundwater availability, and supporting sustainable aquifer management.
This course equips participants with practical skills in applying AI, machine learning, GIS, and geospatial analytics to groundwater and aquifer sustainability modeling. Through hands-on exercises, real-world datasets, and case studies, participants will learn how to integrate hydrological data, develop predictive models, assess groundwater recharge and depletion patterns, and support evidence-based water resource management decisions.
