This workshop is designed as an introduction to the world of drilling. It comprises a number of modules covering all aspects of drilling and logging –everything you will need to know in order to make the best of your drilling programmes. While primarily directed at students, mentees and young graduate professionals, it can also serve as a refresher course to more experienced geoscientists.

The Short Learning Programme, designed for all professionals within the groundwater industry, aims to provide hands-on experience and theoretical background for site selection, drilling, drilling supervision and borehole construction and development.

One of the many skills necessary for the modern geoscientist is knowing how to communicate effectively. We gather technical/scientific information and findings, and then struggle to present them to our audiences in a way that is engaging and easy to understand. Be it to our colleagues, bosses, as well as to non-technical specialists, investors, bankers and even, on occasion, to the general public. Without being understood, we cannot make the impact we desire.

Carin Bosman (CBSS) and Nelda Breedt (Aquatico), in association with the Water Institute of South Africa (WISA), have developed a new Training Course in Water Quality Monitoring and Management. We will be presenting it for the first time from 9 – 11 May 2023, in Pretoria, Gauteng Province.
