Quick Dewatering System Design using Analytic Element Modeling

If you want quickly to learn dewatering system design and expand your engineering skils this is the course for you!

Dewatering system design for various purposes sometimes makes confusions for engineers - should I use analytic or numeric method? Every method has its advantages and disadvantages and in this short course I am going to introduce what I think is the quickest and cost effective way to design dewatering systems - usinig AquiferWin32 and Analytic Element Modeling Technique.

There are going to be several videos and the whole course will last about 1 hour (you will need more to master it). You are also getting a free book with close to 400 pages on Analytic Element Modeling for deeper dive into this topic.

After this course you are going to be able to do your own calculations with AquiferWin ver.5 in which you are going to change the location of wells or trenches, optimize their pumping rates and finally give optimized solution for dewatering system.

Of course, you can ask as many questions as you want on the Forum of this course.

Prerequisite:

B.Sc in hydrogeology, geology, environmental engineering, civil engineering.

Time Commitment:

Average 3 - 4 hours in a week if you want to finish this course in a week. We encourage you to spend time with the course each week after it to establish full understanding of course material. Your focused attention will pay off in the end!

Dragan Kaludjerovic, PhD
Dragan Kaludjerovic, PhD

More than 20 years in the field of water and environment, specialist in quantitative hydrogeology applying his knowledge on projects in Europe, US, Middle East, Australia and Africa. Uncertainty analysis of groundwater models is his another specialization. One of top success was mentoring one of the top world Australian Mining Company in using specialized techniques of mathematical model calibration and uncertainty analysis with PEST.

His Ph.D. was done on the topic of groundwater remediation. On the Middle East he was working on a capital project for the metro. A huge database was established (more than 500 observation points).

Business Development and Marketing

Working from Serbia he manages to set up brand acknowledged on Geological Survey of US Meeting in US 2019 as an example of how brand can be setup from distant country. The first online Conference Groundwater Science and Practice was organized in 2018. Proud to say that he become one of the moderators of the LinkedIn Groundwater Modeling Forum with 7000 members along with several university professors. He raised 100000 USD for his Start-Up. Another Start-Up is currently under development.

Coaching other companies and their engineers

First started with 1 on 1 courses throughout the world (mostly US) conducting Environmental Science Education Program with 900 participants.Topics were Water Resources Management, Remote Sensing and Seawater Intrusion. He was accepted on The John's Hopkins University for online specialization in 2018 where he attended one semester of Air Resources Monitoring and Management. Due to catastrophic air pollution in his native country he stopped his specialization on JHU and devoted his time to mitigation of indoor pollution with a top company in that arena. He was again accepted to continue his specialization in JHU in 2020. As one of greatest achievement was invitation to train JHU Ph.D. student in interpretation of Mars geology. Due to COVID-19, the project was postponed by NASA. Also, at beginning of 2020 he was elected to be a reviewer of The Book Coastal Hydrogeology for US journal.

Water Wells

During his consulting practices he was working with Roscoe Moss and arena of Aquifer Storage and Recovery for several years.

Publishing

He published over 20 scientific papers in his native language and the first one in English at MODFLOW Conference 1998. He published a book about Mathematical Modeling and Remediation that is currently under translation in English.

Sensors in Natural Resources

First started as his hobby after which his passion for electronics in environmental field was expanded and currently, he is writing a book on sensors application in natural resources.

Remote Sensing

By lunching of the Sentinel 2 satellite in 2016 he become interested in remote sensing and its application in water resources and agriculture. Did numerous projects in Agriculture and for big agriculture companies, the largest 10000 ha)

Summary :

His integrated knowledge of different disciplines in environment enabled him to develop a specific approach to managing natural resources (monitoring, modeling and remote sensing) Developing techniques for the determination of mineral resources from satellites was considered by several companies.

What our Clients Say About Us


Dragan is a fantastic technical resource. With his assistance, I’ve been able to greatly improve my groundwater modeling and GIS skills. I will continue to seek him out for my professional development needs. He provided great value and was a pleasure to work with!
- Bob Marley - Senior Hydrogeologist at EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC

I have known Dragan for many years. I am most impressed with his dedication to hard work, and the breadth of his knowledge on environmental data acquisition and processing, software, and modelling.
- John Doherty Owner, Watermark Numerical Computing, Australia


He is always available for questions and truly goes above and beyond in his training classes. I have gained a lot of knowledge over a short period of time working with Dragan and would highly recommend his services to others.”

- Thomas Ballard, PG, CHG, Consulting Hydrogeologist, USA


I took multiple training courses with Dragan. I learned a great deal with him during each of the courses. He is an excellent teacher willing to help out in any way possible.
- Mark Sherrill, Environmental Scientist at Short Elliott Hendricson, USA

"I recently completed a course in Remote Sensing and QGIS with Dragan. He was very knowledgeable and guided me through the theory and background and also the implementation of remote sensing. He was very personable and happy to answer all my questions. I appreciate having him as a reference and would recommend him to anyone interested in this topic."
- Lea Bergwall, GIS Analyst, USA
