The course deals with the basics of hydrology, hydraulics hydrostatics, hydrodynamics), basic information about realisation and operation of water structures, terminology used.
Water structures - river training, weirs, dams, hydro power energy, navigation.
Municipal water management - groundwater caption, water treatment
and transport for the municipal and industry water supply, disposal and treatment of sewage water, balneology, management of water systems.
Innovation 2012/13 the results of the ESF project in the field of geodesy and cyrtografy.
Creating a relationship to the environment, POV and PPO close to nature and friendly.
