CONFERENCE FIELD TRIP
Conference Field Trip – a full day visit to Carpathian Mountains. Topics of the tour include water
management problems in mountainous regions with many private wells and scattered point sources
of water pollution. The excursion program includes a visit to top of the Żar Mountain. Participants
will have an opportunity to see the upper reservoir of the power plant situated on the top of the
mountain - fantastic view at the Sola River cascade. The Sola River cascade system consists of four
reservoirs. Three dammed reservoirs were created along the river valley and one (used for energy
purposes) was built on the top of Żar Mountain. This is the first in Poland full cascade reservoirs river system built according to the principle of the most efficient, comprehensive using and
protection of water resources. On the way back, there is planned a visit to the historic brewery in
Żywiec.
FEFLOW COURSE
FEFLOW course – 25 May 2015
The 4-hour free course gives possibility to acquaint with the basic futures of a professional software
package for modeling fluid flow and transport of dissolved constituents and/or heat transport
processes in the subsurface. FEFLOW is developed by DHI-WASY GmbH, the German branch of
the DHI group. All participants must have their own laptops, the short-time valid licenses will
be provided a few days before the course. FEFLOW trainer will be Björn Onno Kaiser
FEFLOW course – 30-31 May 2015
The two-day course provides you with an introduction to groundwater modelling using FEFLOW.
You learn about the basic concepts of the software through building two and three-dimensional flow
and solute-transport models. Participation in the course is of an additional charge. Details: Daniel
Kiezun [email protected]
