Supervisor:

Department of Hydraulics and Hydrology

Synopsis:

The hydrological part of the course focuses on the laws governing the occurrence and circulation of water, the formation of runoff from river basins, and the measurement and processing of hydrological signals of flow and precipitation. The aim is to master basic calculation procedures and their application in water management practice. In the second half of the course, this knowledge is placed in a broader context from the perspective of climatology and meteorology of the boundary layer of the atmosphere. Attention is focused primarily on the formation of atmospheric precipitation, the radiation and energy balance of the Earth's surface, and climate evolution.

Study Objective:

The aim of the course is recognition of water phenomena at the Earth.

Evidence of past climate, observing the weather and climate change; hydrometric network: atmospheric precipitation, evaporation and streamflow, water in the soil and groundwater; data processing; hydrological analysis: rainfall-runoff relationship, flood frequency and probabilities, droughts, catchment modelling; engineering applications: flood routing, water resources control. ,
