Hydrology is the discipline used to understand and design water management systems that are directly and indirectly related to the occurrence of water on, above and below the earth´s surface. The course includes basic hydrology, emphasizing an understanding of concepts, principles and ideas of hydrologic processes. Practical applications are presented for water quantity considerations and runoff volume and rate management, infiltration and soil water processes. Hydrology of reservoirs, wetlands and ground water is also presented.
Aim of the course -
Last update: TAJ217 (18.11.2013)

Students will be able to:

  • assess the behavior and properties of water in different parts of the hydrosphere - precipitation, surface water flow and stagnant, subsurface, soil and groundwater;
  • statistically evaluate hydrologic data to get the basic statistical characteristics;
  • to determine the retention or storage volume of dam based on the knowledge of the integral lines and their characteristics;
  • to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge to other model examples.
