Subject syllabus

After completing the course the student should demonstrate advanced knowledge of hydrology with emphasis on application sphere and Hydroinformatics, which is in terms of CR and SR applied especially at hydrometeorology and hydrological forecasts. Graduates should be qualified to manage and quantification of elements and hydrological systems and their linkages to other processes in the landscape field. The course also provides understanding of the construction and operation of hydrological models, especially rainfall-runoff, hydrodynamic and dynamic erosion models, as well as their links to geographical information systems. For understanding and mastery of these issues is an exercise used in computing and programs from the range of the mathematical modeling and geo-information technologies.
