| Summary |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic functions of water in the landscape. It also introduces the needs and principles of proposals for irrigation, drainage and anti-erosion measures. Students are also acquainted with the legislative measures in the field of water protection. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| Students gain knowledge in hydropedology, runoff conditions, water balance, hydrological balance of the river basin, needs and principles of proposals for irrigation, drainage and anti-erosion measures. Knowledge of the principles of designing hydromelioration structures. |
