STEP-BY-STEP PACKER TESTING:
Measuring Hydraulic Conductivity and Aquifer Properties for Hydrogeologic Projects

Despite the popularity of packer testing, many hydrogeologists do not properly conduct the tests or correctly interpret the results. And although hydraulic packer testing is an "old" technology in the water well industry, hydrogeologists often do not appreciate how valuable it can be in understanding and interpreting subsurface hydrostratigraphy, groundwater movement, and aquifer properties.

Learn both basic and detailed considerations during this 90-minute webinar that focuses on packer testing to determine hydraulic conductivity and aquifer properties for hydrogeologic applications.

Discover common mistakes made in the environmental industry and avoid them in the future to obtain reliable data. Help yourself and your projects by creating efficiencies that reduce uncertainties coupled with collecting the sufficient information that is appropriate for your site.

Learn to conduct meaningful packer tests and interpret the data. Understand different methods of analysis and how they apply to various equipment configurations and subsurface conditions.

Register now for this popular webinar that updates procedures for packer testing.

Instructors Bio

Kenneth Bradbury, PhD, PG
( http://www.uwex.edu/wgnhs/staff_krb.htm )

Dr. Kenneth Bradbury is Wisconsin's State Geologist and Director of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, UW-Madison Division of Extension. Ken is a hydrogeologist who has worked and published on groundwater issues in Wisconsin since 1982, with a focus on applied problems. His research has included investigations of virus transport in groundwater, groundwater flow in fractured rocks, aquitard hydrogeology, groundwater recharge processes, wellhead protection, regional groundwater simulation, and the hydrogeology of glacial deposits.

He received his B.A. from Ohio Wesleyan University, where he majored in geology, then earned a Master's degree from Indiana University. He received his PhD from the UW-Madison Department of Geology in 1982.

Ken is an affiliate faculty member in the UW-Madison Department of Geoscience and the Nelson Institute at UW-Madison. He is a Fellow in the Geological Society of America and is active in the Association of American State Geologists. Ken has served on the Water Science and Technology Board of the National Academy of Sciences and on committees advising the US Geological Survey.


Dave Hart PhD, PG

Dave Hart is a hydrogeologist/geophysicist with the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey and an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Extension.

Dave's applied research includes regional groundwater flow and recharge in southeastern Wisconsin, near-surface geophysics, and measurement of porosities and permeabilities in aquifers and aquitards. Prior to joining the university, he served as a hydrogeologist with Eder Associates. He is an associate editor for Ground Water and past president of the AWRA - Wisconsin Section.
