- Synopsis:
-
During the teaching semester, students are introduced to the fields of water engineering, water management and environmental engineering. In particular, emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of water and environmental engineering in close relation to other branches of civil engineering. The course is taught in the form of lectures and tutorials. The lectures are divided thematically into 20 blocks according to the different branches of the discipline (13 times water engineering and 7 times environmental engineering). In the exercises, students work on basic problems in the field of hydrology, water supply and water structures, especially dams, hydropower and flood issues. All 4 „water“ departments of K14x are involved in teaching the course.

The exercise takes place 6 times per semester with the following content:
1. Constructing a theoretical curve of m-day and N-year flow exceedances.
2. Transformation of flood wave and design of reservoir storage volume.
3. Design of the basic structure of a movable weir.
4. Calculation of annual energy production in a hydroelectric power plant.
2x excursions of your choice from about 10 options of water management structures, watercourses and water infrastructure.
- Study Objective:
