Summary
The subject dissolve geomofphology and hydrology process in fluvial landscape, the problem of functioning natural rivers, the importance wetland, as reservoir.
Monitoring and analysis of the selected parameters of hydro-ecological evaluation is a useful basis for working out the system of landscape ecological stability (USES). Revitalization in general consists of activities leading to activation of functioning of ecosystems in the landscape, and, respectively their stabilization. Revitalization of streams includes a set of hydro-technical and biotechnical activities, leading towards restoration of degraded part of a stream and its basin, the amendment of its unflavorable parameters enables not only to improve the stream conditions, but to establish the basis for future favorable evolution as well.


Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The ability to construct landscape-ecology analysis in revitalization of water suface.
