Summary
The hydrometry of river stream, unchanged and changed profile - the elemental terms. Quantitative and qualitative river parameters. Monitoring hydrology process, as river level, as stream flow rate, regime sediments, floating particular. Statistical assessment – hydrology river regime.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
To obtain practical experience of the hydrometry river. To get hydrological and meteorological measuring in co-operation of the Czech Hydrometeorogical Institute.
Method of current meters, measuring by hydro- propeler:
• measuring of river velocity at one point or two points (in vertical line), cross section (in flow rate square= flow profile),
• measuring of flow square, flow profile.
Course Contents
To obtain practical experience of hydrometry river. To get hydrological and meteorological measuring in co-operation of Czech Hydrometeorogical Institute.
