Impacts of Groundwater Abstraction on the Environment

Description

This is a training course covering the environmental impacts of groundwater abstraction, structured modularly to accommodate a section on foundational concepts, accompanied by an advanced technical section including relevant case studies and problems. The training should provide delegates with both a broad understanding of groundwater abstraction and the knowledge required to assess abstraction-related risks within regulatory and environmental management contexts. This includes responding to Groundwater Investigation Consents (GICs), abstraction licence applications, planning consultations, environmental improvement programmes and issues relating to sustainable abstraction. It will be taught in the context of effective decision-making, enabling new starters and existing staff to critically evaluate GIC applications and apply their knowledge to other regulatory decision making.
