420 / 5000 Výsledky překladu Climate change affects water management in many ways, from the frequency and intensity of seasonal and long-term manifestations of drought and flood events to the impact on surface and groundwater resources and technological approaches to drinking water treatment and wastewater treatment. In this course, students will gain information about the main aspects of the above phenomena and the possibilities of adapting water management to these phenomena.
