As demand for reliable drinking water grows, engineers must design groundwater systems that are efficient, resilient, and protective of long-term water quality. This course introduces the principles and practices used to plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain sustainable water wells. It connects hydrogeology, regulatory compliance, energy efficiency, smart monitoring, and environmental stewardship to help professionals develop wells that meet community needs while safeguarding aquifers and supporting responsible groundwater management.

Intermediate

This course explores the full lifecycle of sustainable drinking water well systems, from groundwater research and site selection through design, drilling, development, testing, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation. Learners examine hydrogeologic evaluation, well construction methods, regulatory and environmental considerations, water quality protection, pump efficiency, and smart infrastructure tools such as sensors, telemetry, SCADA, and predictive maintenance. The course also highlights sustainability case examples, climate resilience, managed aquifer recharge, and the ethical responsibilities of engineers in groundwater stewardship.

This course is designed for licensed engineers, water resource professionals, environmental and civil engineers, groundwater consultants, utility and public works staff, well designers, and professionals involved in drinking water supply, groundwater development, or sustainable infrastructure planning. It is especially relevant for those responsible for designing, constructing, operating, maintaining, or managing water well systems that must be efficient, resilient, compliant, and environmentally responsible.
